Isn't it time to put the classroom, the teacher and the student back into the center of the information loop?
The critical center of the learning process is what happens in the classroom between student and teacher. Research has shown that teachers thrive when they have immediate access to data about their students' progress. By putting the right information and a powerful set of technology tools into the hands of a good teacher, schools can create a formula for success.
Now, the Pinnacle Suite can provide the key to that formula.
With the addition of Pinnacle's new student information system, the Pinnacle Suite is now a powerhouse end-to-end solution for schools and districts committed to impacting instruction through standards-based teaching practices and improving student learning outcomes through the effective use of data.
While traditional student information systems provide organization and management tools for the basics, Pinnacle's student-centered approach provides student information for better teaching. In a way not previously possible, teachers can use standards-aligned data to drive instruction resulting in higher achievement for students, schools and districts.
The Pinnacle SIS supports 21st Century scheduling based on student performance. The non-traditional schedules maintained by the Pinnacle SIS give digital-age learners and teachers a more flexible and productive classroom environment, allowing flexibility for an increase in individualization and creative teaching strategies.
