PLUS Solutions - PerformancePLUS

Student academic achievement through curriculum standards and comprehensive assessments

Today educators face a number of challenges — districts are accountable at the local, state, and national levels for the academic achievement of every student, and school assessment mandates pile up while resources are spread thin. In order to overcome these challenges, teachers and administrators need quick and simple access to curriculum standards and assessment data.

A module of SunGard Public Sector's PLUS Solutions suite for K-12 education, PerformancePLUS is a comprehensive learning management system designed to help districts build a data-informed culture and ultimately increase academic achievement, providing critical No Child Left Behind (NCLB) tracking and support. With easily accessible school curriculum and assessment data, educators have the tools to gauge student achievement, benchmark assessments, track curriculum standards, and increase student performance.

The PerformancePLUS development team is led by Jeff Colosimo, a veteran of the K-12 education technologies industry; and Dr. Bena Kallick, a renowned educational consultant. Together they co-authored Using Curriculum Mapping & Assessment Data to Improve Learning, a book designed to help educators consider next steps in using curriculum mapping, assessment, and technology to generate vibrant and productive learning communities.
