Learning Tools International Commits to the SIF Schools Interoperability
Framework Initiative
Santa Rosa, California - November 11, 1999 - Learning Tools
International (LTI) announced today that it is participating in the Schools
Interoperability Framework Industry Initiative (SIF) as a charter member of
the original SIF working groups. The Schools Interoperability Framework is an
industry initiative to develop a standard for ensuring that K-12 instructional
and administrative software applications can share information seamlessly. SIF
originated as a working group of more than 17 leading education software
vendors and customers with the leadership of Microsoft Corporation and is now
managed by the Software & Information Industry Association.
For more than 20 years, Learning Tools International has been a national
leader in providing administrative software for Special Education and other
specialized programs. Learning Tools began with the development and
implementation of the Individualized Planning System™ (IPS), used by
thousands of educators throughout the United States. IPS revolutionized the
way educators tracked the progress of students, created Individualized
Education Plans (IEPs) and maintained compliance with all state and federal
requirements.
GoalView™ is Learning Tools' revolutionary new Internet-based performance
information system for educators, students and parents. GoalView helps
educators, students, parents and others in the community to improve
achievement of goals and standards, establish accountability for completion
of goals and standards, and enable accessibility to comprehensive individual
and group performance information.
Using GoalView saves staff time on administrative tasks, reduces paperwork,
simplifies state and federal reporting, tracks school and district-wide
accountability and reports progress with GoalCards™. GoalView meets the
needs of K-14 General Education, Special Education, Title 1, Staff Development
and University Training.
Learning Tools' success is in part due to its partnerships with technical
and educational leaders including:
- Charter member of the Schools Interoperability Framework Initiative (SIF)
- Microsoft® Software Development Network partner
- Adobe® Systems Development partner
- Information Technology provider to thousands of school districts
throughout the United States
- Member of the international Software and Information Industry Association
(SIIA)
- Business sponsor with the National Association of State Directors of
Special Education (NASDSE)
- Strategic business partner with The Council For Exceptional Children (CEC)
- Advisor to Congressional Subcommittee on IDEA requirements for progress
reporting (now IDEA law)
