<p> </p>
<p>A close competition to win two grant awards valued at up to $10,000 per award was up for grabs. Winners will each receive a six month subscription to TestWiz, our assessment processing, reporting and scoring tool. </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Why is this Unique?</strong></p>
<p><br/>TestWiz can pull all assessment data together on one interface, no matter if it's a state, local, literacy or standardized test, and can even be seen all on one report. Users can even track multiple interventions concurrently for RTI. Our state-of-the-art scanning technology can simply create custom answer docs for each student and be printed on plain copy paper. Once admininstered, the results can quickly be scanned in and can be seen alongside all other test data, even on the same page. Data can inform instruction even in the next class! Users can also key enter literacy tests like the DIBELS, DRA or Fountas & Pinnel, right into our software and all test results can be compared together, disaggregated, or correlated to one another. </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>The Grants</strong></p>
<p><br/>After much deliberation, the judges selected two outstanding entries from the group to each receive a 6-month subscription of TestWiz. Both winners have a strong focus on data-driven decision making, and can benefit greatly by using our assessment processing capability to save valuable instructional time so teachers can get on to what they do best..... teaching!<br/><br/>To view the winners and how they plan to implement TestWiz: <a href="http://testwiz.com/home/whatsnew/10-06-07/grant_award_winners_announced.aspx">http://testwiz.com/home/whatsnew/10-06-07/grant_award_winners_announced.aspx</a></p>
