Plano, TX (PRUnderground) June 14th, 2017
Today, School Spire, Inc. announced the recent signing of multiple new customer contracts, in its home state of Texas, for their EMPOWER suite of education products, including the EMPOWER – IMS product.
For this summer, SchoolSpire is excited to have the Weatherford Independent School District (WISD) as a new customer. WISD has contracted to use SchoolSpire’s Assessment Management System for the creation of district assessments, the administration of the assessments to district students, and the reporting of student performance results.
As a member of the Educational Purchasing Cooperative of North Texas, this contract win with WISD ensures that the other 70+ Region 10 and Region 11 districts can take full advantage of the same contract benefits, including discount pricing, thus providing those districts the ability to “Empower” and “Facilitate” their administrators, teachers, students and parents with School Spire suite of products. In addition to discounted prices, districts that choose to take advantage of this opportunity will be able to enjoy proven Empower-IMS assessment, instruction reporting and analytic solution preloaded with the Facilitate exclusive 100% TEKS aligned items bank with over 32,000 items covering K-12 inclusive of pre-built assessments for all grade levels.
Another win is the signing of the Houston Independent School District (HISD). HISD awarded a new contract to SchoolSpire for a District Instructional Software System. HISD is the largest school district in Texas with over 280 schools, and over 215,000 students. SchoolSpire is looking forward to continuing our partnership with HISD.
The HISD Instructional Management Solution RFP is a special win for the School Spire Team. School Spire and HISD have partnered for over 4 years, with School Spire serving HISD as its district wide formative assessment and reporting system. School Spire being in a strong partnership with HISD, has helped our offering to be a proven Enterprise Solution for managing assessment and reporting needs of one of the top 7 districts in the nation in terms of student population. During their 4 year partnership, School Spire has helped HISD achieve its targets of implementing a formative assessment model, that has been adopted district wide, as well as achieving HISD’s computer based testing targets.
“..SchoolSpire has much to be proud of in their work with Houston.
Without Empower IMS, Houston ISD would not have advanced as quickly as we did
in terms of formative assessment practices and online testing capability.”
Dr. Christinia Wehde-Roddiger, Ed.D.
Online Formative Assessment Manager, Student Assessment
“We are excited to continue our partnership with HISD proving we still have the “LOVE”.
School Spire worked with HISD’s formative assessment team for the last 4 years and processed over 14 million student assessments with online usage increasing year by year over the last 4 years, and teachers authoring over 35K items using School Spire. Now with this win, we are excited and looking forward to working with HISD curriculum and instruction team. Along with ability to use our powerful authoring, assessment and reporting tools, HISD teachers and admins can enjoy our recently released Analytic solution, already preloaded with 4 years of HISD student assessment data, 3rd party data, DLAs and classroom level data.”
