White Plains, NY, September 15, 2009 — Haights Cross Communications announced today that its Triumph Learning business unit has launched Coach Connected, a new web-based electronic product customized for the state of Georgia. Coach Connected is an online assessment and remediation application which complements Triumph’s market-leading Coach test-prep student workbooks.
Coach Connected provides authentic CRCT (Criterion-Referenced Competency Test) pretest and post-test assessments, with instant scoring as a time-saver for educators. Based on a student’s initial assessment through the pre-test in each subject, Coach Connected provides students with personalized skills practice and re-assessment until the student masters each specific skill in that subject. Coach Connected allows teachers to track each student’s performance on a subject by subject, skill by skill, and assign additional practice as necessary. The teacher can also track and manage the progress of the entire class on a subject-by-subject and skill-by-skill basis. Coach Connected also provides subject-level and school administrators with reporting tools to track student progress on a class-by-class and subject-by-subject basis.
The Georgia launch of Coach Connected provides online products in Reading, English Language Arts (ELA), and Mathematics, covering grades 3 through 8 for each subject, so the entire suite consists of 18 new product offerings from Triumph Learning. With the
premiere of Coach Connected, Triumph plans additional state specific launches of this exciting new online product for the first quarter of 2010.
