Spectrum K12’s EXCEED™ Selected Finalist in 3 Categories for 2010 SIIA CODiE Awards

TOWSON, Md. — February 25, 2010 — Spectrum K12 School Solutions announced today that their EXCEED™ Student Achievement Manager software has been selected as a finalist for a 2010 CODiE Award in three separate categories; “Best Classroom Management Solution”, “Best Education Solution”, and Best K-12 Enterprise Solution”. Spectrum K12 is one of only 5 companies named as a finalist in three or more categories from a total of 124 companies who submitted nominations.

EXCEED is a universal Student Achievement Management solution that manages, administers and prescribes the personalized learning process and data required for all students: in general, compensatory, gifted or special education. EXCEED gives teachers an easy to use, automated way to drive day-to-day activities, interventions and progress monitoring to help all students achieve success while giving administrators the ability to see what’s working and surface achievement gaps at the individual student, class, grade, group, and district level.

“To have our software judged and selected as a finalist in three separate categories by such a cross-section of the education industry is recognition of the scope, power and ease of use of our Student Achievement Management solution,” stated Jim Marshall, president and CEO of Spectrum K12 School Solutions.

Established in 1986 by the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA), the CODiE Awards recognize and honor excellence in the education, software and digital information industries. Nominated products underwent an intensive review by subject matter experts, analysts, journalists, and others with deep experience in the field. The products that qualified will now be reviewed by members of SIIA, who will vote on winners for all 24 categories. The winners will be announced at a special CODiE Awards Dinner on May 24th, which will be held in conjunction with the 2010 Ed Tech Industry Summit in San Francisco, CA.
