District Administration readers are the top school administrators in the country, and they know firsthand what works and what does not work within their districts. Using an interactive rating system, District Administration asked its readers to rate their favorite products from its products database (www.districtadministration.com/products) within the categories of Hardware, Software, Internet, Books and Materials, and Facilities.

The winning products were chosen by evaluating readers’ online ratings, new product suggestions, and comments. Additional input was given by the District Administration Advisory Panel. The results are now available online and are featured in a special print issue of District Administration that will be mailed on January 16.

“To have EXCEED™/RTI recognized as a leading response to intervention software solution by top school administrators is a tremendous honor,” stated Jim Marshall, CEO & President of Spectrum K12. “Having our vision recognized and endorsed by the industry is heart-warming affirmation that Spectrum K12 is delivering what school districts need; an integrated, student achievement management platform allowing teachers to drive day-to-day activities, research based interventions and outcomes to help all students achieve success.”

“Last year’s decision to have readers select the top 100 and create a separate issue was an overwhelming success. This year we received a tremendous amount of product recommendations, making it very difficult to limit the list to just 100. The winning list contains products that our readers have successfully implemented at the district, school, and classroom levels. We hope that these products can help you manage your district,” says DA Editor Judy Faust Hartnett.
