TUCSON, AZ/ October 5, 2006 - The Arizona Department of Education recently adopted four systems including Galileo Plus, Assessment Technology, Incorporated's Educational Management System, for progress monitoring and measuring outcome indicators in preschool children ages three through five years.

Galileo Plus is a fully integrated system for use in developmentally appropriate assessment, curriculum implementation, multi-level and multi-year real-time progress and outcome reporting, and family involvement. Galileo easy-to-use technology is the first system of its kind to fully integrate online and offline capabilities within one system at one cost.

Tools for Reliably Assessing Development

• One Integrated System to Promote Development
  Make sound decisions to promote children's development and learning through Galileo Plus's real-time progress and outcome reporting. Use assessment information obtained through Galileo's patented technology to plan learning opportunities matching developmentally appropriate activities to child's learning needs.
• Galileo Scales Align to Arizona Early Learning Standards
  Use Galileo scales to assess children's progress on empirically validated developmental sequences. Provide parents with both immediate feedback on learning and appropriate home activities.
• Multi-Method Approach
  Use the Galileo multi-method assessment approach without disrupting the child's daily activities. Using ongoing purposeful observation, anecdotal narratives, representative samples of children's work, and family involvement/input, Galileo organizes the data into a mosaic that reveals a comprehensive portrait of the child's development as a whole.
