For Educators
Communication & Collaboration Tools
Pearson student information systems (PowerSchool, Chancery SMS, and SASI) are critical components of an effective response to disruption in the operational, administrative, and instructional processes of a district or school. Pearson provides these services currently to 40% of the nation's schools, and has developed solutions that allow educators to make timely data-driven decisions in the face of an emerging crisis or threat.
These systems provide essential district-wide communication, data collection and reporting, and accurate student tracking capabilities. Additionally, Pearson SIS are designed to enable collaborative school-to-home outreach. Parents and students can access school and class announcements, homework assignment details, and teacher comments.
Pearson Schools Systems will offer "best practice" webinars to current Pearson SIS customers in order to help them with configure and optimize their student information systems and data management procedures to effectively address disruptions to normal district or school business (e.g. increased student absenteeism, school closures, or modified instructional schedules). Additionally, the webinars will address how to leverage the Pearson SIS school-to-home communications most effectively during crisis scenarios.
If your school is using PowerSchool, Chancery SMS, or SASI please visit the PowerSource Web site for additional information and resources.
