eCompendium Releases Online Solution for DRDP-R Assessments

DRDP-R.com Meets the Curriculum Needs of Students and Teachers with Instant
Reporting

ALISO VIEJO, CA – September 29, 2008 – eCompendium, LLC recently announced the release of DRDP-R.com, the first fully electronic DRDP-R assessment tool for partially or fully state funded early education programs featuring: instant reporting for administrators, easy-to-use electronic forms for teachers, and a new eco-friendly approach.

“Our system is quickly becoming a most invaluable tool for school districts,” says Dennis Boyer, CEO and Co-Founder of DRDP-R.com. “Teachers and administrators are now able to make the most of the DRDP-R by instantly tailoring their curriculum to meet the needs of their students, while also using its robust reporting capabilities to apply for grants.”

Teachers simply enter student observations and anecdotes with online forms that match those of the state for easy viewing and data entry. Reports can be immediately calculated once a teacher enters their data allowing for curriculum scaffolding in a timely manner to meet student needs in real time. DRDP-R.com online meets all requirements for the California Department of Education’s Desired Results Developmental Profiles (DRDP-R).

Currently there are over 150 sites utilizing DRDP-R.com including Lovett’s Children in Riverside County. “The [electronic] DRDP-R is a valuable tool that gives us immediate data to help link our assessments to curriculum planning,” says Linda Lovett, Director. “We use our findings to make decisions about changing materials, giving technical assistance to staff, making home-school connections, and program improvement activities, including budgets.”

Not only is DRDP-R.com affordable for any size early Education Center or District, the program simplifies the process of accumulating information and reporting results, bridging parent - teacher - administrator relationships with anecdotal records, cross-referenced to additional reporting measures. “Our online tool will save thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours of work each year. The time they save can be put back into the classroom and the money back into the budget.”
