Assess2Achieve

Editors' ReviewDownload.com staffSeptember 27, 2004This application is designed to help teachers plan and organize their school year, but without studying the rather lengthy help file, many instructions will be lost. The bare-bones interface has icons for searching and changing the font, but entering new pupils and subjects without importing data from a spreadsheet program is a hurdle. Once you get your bearings, however, you can create lesson plans, evaluate lessons, assess student performances, and record attendance. A sample file provides a glimpse into the program s robust output, which includes an organizer that assesses performance on each lesson. Printing is disabled in the freeware version, which diminishes its usefulness in real-word situations. Teachers judging performance on test scores alone will find this program too complex, but those instructors with numerous students, subjects, and measuring criteria will find it a capable option.
