Triumph Learning Launches Waggle SBAC
New York, NY (PRWEB) October 16, 2014 -- Triumph Learning, producer of critically acclaimed K-12 instructional materials and interactive digital tools, announces Waggle for the Smarter Balance Assessment Consortium (SBAC). The SBAC assessments in Waggle include 26 different item types that students will see on the SBAC assessments including Part A and Part B problems and performance tasks.
The Smarter Balance Assessment Consortium is a state-led consortium working to develop next-generation assessments that measure student progress toward college- and career-readiness. Smarter Balance is one of two multistate consortia awarded funding from the U.S. Department of Education in 2010 to develop an assessment system aligned to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) by the 2014-15 school year.
“With Waggle, SBAC states can gain a greater understanding about Common Core State Standards and assessments,” said Aoife Dempsey, chief technology officer of Triumph Learning. “Our personalized learning platform provides students with the practice and instruction to build the skills and critical thinking that they need for college- and career-readiness.”
Triumph Learning has also partnered with Learnosity, which offers tools and services that incorporate powerful interactive assessment into digital products quickly and easily. Learnosity is committed to designing market-leading software to allow developers to create exceptional assessment products, make teachers’ lives easier, and above all, instill a love of learning in students.
“Our partnership with Triumph Learning is a natural fit,” said Gavin Cooney, co-founder and CEO of Learnosity. “By using the Learnosity tools and services Triumph Learning is able to provide Common Core Coach content in an even wider variety of online interactive item types than are in the SBAC assessments.”
Triumph Learning recently received three Education Software Review (EDDIE) Awards for its online learning platform, Waggle. The company took home the top prize for its new learning solution in the following categories: Online English Language Arts Courseware, Online Math Courseware and Online Classroom Management System.
