St. Louis, MO – January 28, 2010 – Education Technology Partners announced today the addition of two new solution offerings — Educational Impact and eScience Labs — to their suite of “best of breed” education improvement solutions.
Educational Impact (EI) is the premier online provider of professional development for educators and administrators. Since 1999, EI has developed 35 online programs encompassing more than 350 hours of streaming video.
EI has also recently developed the first online 360 degree assessment that provides users with the ability to target specific EI programs and content based on personal profile results. They partner with many of the country's premier educational organizations to create online programs and content, including organizations like the National Educational Association (NEA), the National Association of Elementary School Principals (NAESP), the Ohio Department of Education (ODE), the Ohio Association of Elementary School Administrators (OAESA) and many more.
eScience Labs is a leading producer of self-contained science kits that offer the same experiments found in traditional academic labs. Their hands-on science kits are designed to fit with any school’s existing science curriculum or teaching style. Engaging online content is provided to supplement a complete series of hands-on labs and to reinforce key concepts.
eScience Labs’ kits are also designed to be safer for students and friendly for the environment. Each kit comes complete and contains everything a student needs to perform all of the experiments. PhD-level educators and scientists have written manuals that are clear, concise and easy to follow.
“We are extremely excited to add these two offerings to the Education Technology Partners suite of solutions,” President & CEO Randy Jennings said. “Continuing professional development for educators is essential for school improvement and the Educational Impact library of online programs is extremely impressive.”
“I’m equally as enthusiastic about eScience Labs — their hands-on, self-contained science labs are the perfect solution for so many schools and districts across the Midwest,” Jennings said. “The fact that the kits are so easy to implement with any science curriculum makes them such a valuable asset to the schools we serve.”
