Today, having the right high-quality data can help parents, teachers, policymakers, and other stakeholders make informed decisions to improve student achievement. These data include things like student attendance, demographics, college-readiness scores, student growth data, teacher impact on students, success in college, and other useful, appropriate information.
Educators are increasingly embracing the idea that unified digital learning has the power to deeply engage the learner and transform our education system. However, tackling the challenges associated with implementing technology in the classroom, using online resources, software and apps in digital learning can be overwhelming.
Each year, school districts and educators seek permissions from parents for a number of activities, ranging from mandatory and often hefty Acceptable Use Policy documents, to field trip and team sport forms. Each of these forms requires Verified Parental Consent (VPC), and is governed by strict COPPA rules, but most districts still rely on paper-based systems which are insecure, inefficient, and disconnected from their school’s directory.
LexisNexis and i-SAFE are combining their strengths to solve these challenges.
