I have spoken with educators across the nation and their main struggle is figuring out how to differentiate their instruction because they don't have the data they need to make justified decisions

But by using the Aspire software with our scanners, educators will have the opportunity to create and administer their exams and then collect relevant and valuable data that will allow them to address gaps in learning and teaching.

Apperson proudly gained partnership with the comprehensive Aspire solution by providing a test scanner that will score students' tests and allow educators to upload the test data immediately into the Aspire software. With Apperson providing the key to populating the Aspire software with student test results, instructors can now gain access to immediate feedback during the learning process, allowing for timely intervention and remediation.

"I have spoken with educators across the nation and their main struggle is figuring out how to differentiate their instruction because they don't have the data they need to make justified decisions," said Jessica Adamson, K-12 Education Products Manager at Apperson Education Products. "But by using the Aspire software with our scanners, educators will have the opportunity to create and administer their exams and then collect relevant and valuable data that will allow them to address gaps in learning and teaching."

Apperson's and Northrop Grumman's plan moving forward is to further break ground in the education community by offering both a complete and user-friendly solution to formative assessments.
