Jersey City Public Schools Chooses GoalView for Intervention and Special Education Student
Information Management
GoalView™ Specialized Student Information System -- Accountability for Special Education,
Intervention, Title 1 and Other Specialized Student Programs --
SANTA ROSA, CA -- Learning Tools International, a long time provider of specialized
student information management systems, today announced an agreement with the Jersey City
Public Schools to provide Intervention (RTI) student information management for the district.
Jersey City is currently implementing GoalView for their Special Education information
management.
GoalView is a web-based student information management system for Special Education,
Intervention, ELL and other educational programs that provide Individualized Learning Plans
(IEPs), Progress Reporting and State and Federal Compliance Reporting to ensure accountability
and improve achievement. GoalView provides a simple, consistent way to plan and track student
achievement, improve accountability, ensure compliance, facilitate communication and improve
collaboration.
Learning Tools has customized the GoalView Special Education management system for Jersey City
Public Schools starting with the Referral through the IEP process. The addition of the
Intervention (RTI) Module for early intervening services provides the complete process of
identifying and monitoring students who need additional instructional support.
Introduced in 1999, GoalView has since been implemented in over 100 school districts around
the country to help achieve goals mandated by the No Child Left Behind Act, and the Individuals
with Disabilities Act (IDEA).
“GoalView has a proven track record in helping educators and children stay on track as they
work together to achieve their specialized program goals,” said Cathy Zier, President, Learning
Tools International. “We feel confident that our attention to detail and customized efforts
to help meet the needs of special children will result in a positive outcome.”
Priscilla Petrosky, Associate Superintendent, states: “Data driven systems are a requirement
for managing successful education programs. It’s imperative for us to know what skills a child
has, and what services and progress they have made so we can provide early intervening services
successfully. We have been implementing our Special Education information management system,
and now we are focusing on the intervention tools for managing student success for all students.
GoalView provides the entire process for us.”
Learning Tools International is led by President and General Manager, Cathy D. Zier. Before
joining Learning Tools in 1998, Ms Zier spent thirteen years as a Special Education professional,
implementing student information management systems, teacher training, as well as state and local
technology programs. She also spent 10 years with Apple Computer working in national and
international sales, organizational design and customer management.
