Letter from the President
Ensuring a 21st Century Learning Environment
Jessie Woolley-Wilson, President of K-12 at Blackboard, writes: "Our current education climate places an increased emphasis on the need for data and the ability to interpret that data to make informed instructional decisions that positively affect student achievement. Some of the largest challenges facing educators today, such as closing the achievement gap, ensuring student mastery of standards and preparing students for success in the global economy, require data to identify areas of strength and areas of concern, allowing classroom time to be maximized on the instruction each student needs most." <More>
