IQity announces that it has become a Tier 1 corporate sponsor for the Council of Chief State School Officers.

Columbus, OH (PRWEB) August 18, 2008 -- IQity announces that it has become a Tier 1 corporate sponsor for the Council of Chief State School Officers. According to IQity CEO Bill Lager, "Our organizations share the goal of achieving an educational system in which all children can learn successfully, regardless of socio-economic status, geography, medical conditions, learning styles, or other historic barriers. Given our shared mission, IQity is pleased to offer the highest possible level of support for our nation's educational leaders."

The Council of Chief State School Officers is an association of public officials who head departments of elementary and secondary education in U.S. jurisdictions. This nonprofit, nonpartisan group provides advocacy and technical assistance on a broad range of educational issues.

As part of its sponsorship activities, IQity provided support for the recently concluded Summer Institute held this year at Amelia Island, Florida. This annual event is the Council's major membership meeting at which the nation's top educational leaders gather to hear expert presentations on current issues in education and share their own expertise and experiences. The focus of the 2008 Summer Institute was exploring ways that state and local education agencies can work better together to assure high quality teaching and learning for each and every child.

Lager notes that IQity's interactions with the nation's educational leaders at events such as the Summer Institute will help the company develop tools that best meet the needs of elementary and secondary school districts. IQity offers a complete platform for online learning (http://www.IQinnovations.org) which includes a Learning Management System (http://www.IQinnovations.org/learning-management-system/learning-management-system.html) (LMS) and a content suite that schools can use as curriculum. The company will soon offer a learning object repository that will greatly expand the range of lessons available to teachers.
