Data Management & Technology Solutions
Battelle for Kids has developed various customizable data management and technology solutions to help school districts use value-added information for school improvement, such as:
  • Linkage & Verification System. Educators in core subject areas can verify the percentage of instruction they provided to each student, address mobility issues, and identify missing students. Accounting for these issues is critical to develop the most accurate value-added reports to inform instruction.
  • Inquiry/Response System. Districts can receive online inquiries from staff members that can be tracked from question to answer/resolution regarding their value-added reports.
  • Communications Portal. Districts can integrate all information about their value-added program with single sign-in access to important updates, the Linkage & Verification System, reporting and more through this logically organized, visually rich portal solution.
