8. Eduphoria! Aware • SchoolObjects:aware redefines student data analysis, by making your data “browsable” in a rich, interactive format. Drilling from district to school to individual teacher or student data is just a click away! Because it links with your roster, granting access to teachers is a breeze! • It’s so much more than a data analysis package. The individual student view allows staff members to journal parent communication, tutoring entries or any intervention the district wishes to track. Student Personal Graduation Plans can be created from a transcript import, and the custom form builder allows you to create a rich set of secure student forms

9. Eduphoria! Workshop SchoolObjects:Workshop is a professional development management system that streamlines staff course registration and portfolios. Courses are listed online and teachers can register with a click of the mouse. The staff member will receive an email a few days before the course reminding that a course is ready to go! After the course is completed, it is added to the teacher's portfolio along with teaching credentials, SBEC hours, GT credit hours, mandatory district hours - whatever you want to track! Course evaluations can be filled out online and staff members can even print their own certificates!

10. Eduphoria! PDAS SchoolObjects:pdas™ can be accessed via a web browser, allowing principals and teachers to work on PDAS from school or home. Teacher self-reports, observation documents, walk-throughs, summative evaluations and intervention plans are all stored in one location, making it easy for teachers and principals to quickly view their PDAS documents. Principals can view their staff list at a glance and track how many walk-throughs have been performed, whether the staff member has had a formal evaluation, if the self-report has been submitted and if the summative has been completed.

11. Eduphoria! Formspace • SchoolObjects:formspace is the perfect application for your district to house all the forms that staff members may need – from school and district forms to public web forms - they can all be stored here! Easy-to-build dynamic workflows allow a form’s flow to accommodate any situation. Automated and meaningful email notifications are built into the system to keep everyone informed and up to date as to the status of each form. • With public web forms and surveys you can now have information submitted directly from your community. Easily gather volunteer requests and parent feedback all with the same system. Once gathered, the information can be aggregated into visual reports, exported into a spreadsheet, or converted into custom documents using a powerful mail merge feature
