CLIFTON, NJ, JUNE 25, 2010—ClassLink is pleased to announce a major new release of ClassLink OnTrack, an easy to use, affordable, and comprehensive curriculum management and lesson planning solution. OnTrack is web-based so educators have 24/7 access to all their curriculum and lesson plans. This latest release includes several major enhancements:

• Incorporates Moodle to allow districts to create customized online courses.
• Provides an online professional community to share best practice and materials through Moodle.
• The differentiation module allows for lessons to be customized by each student’s interest level, learning style and readiness; plus lessons can be adapted for content, process or product.
• Blooms Taxonomy module creates instructionally customized lesson plans aligned with Blooms’ six levels of higher order thinking and scaffolds their unit structure appropriately.
• Redesigned for ease of use and clarity of screens.
• Enhanced reporting capabilities including usage reports, data reports on higher level thinking skills and a student data driven assessment piece. Data can be compiled and studied over time.

“OnTrack provides districts the ability to customize their lesson plans down to the individual student level. And in these times of scarce dollars, schools can do this without having to invest in additional support staff,” said Berj Akian, President, ClassLink. “This means more of their instructional dollars can stay in the classroom.”

“I love both the incorporation of Moodle into OnTrack and the ability to share knowledge with teachers across the country through the online community,” said Mike Buono, Consulting Principal at Ditmas IS 62 in New York. “Best of all I have been able to toss that big book of lesson plans and manage my curriculum right online. It is amazing how much more I can differentiate instruction now.”

Deborah Casey, Literacy Coach at PS 196 in Brooklyn, NY added, "We are in the process of working on Curriculum Mapping with ClassLink OnTrack. Our goal is to have a product that teachers will be able to deliver to the students with ease. The ClassLink staff is always available to guide us through the process and we are confident that incorporating OnTrack will enhance teaching and learning at our school."

Clients participating in the beta-testing of this version of OnTrack found the enhancements made aligning learning across buildings and grades easy. They also liked how simple it was to align their lesson plans to state standards. Collaboration was greatly enhanced and the elimination of “big blue binders” of curriculum was considered a huge plus. The confusion of dealing with obsolete lesson plans was no longer a problem. Overall, they felt the curriculum and lesson planning process was streamlined in a way that minimized errors and significantly shortened their learning curve.
