(PRWEB) May 16, 2012

Diana Nunnaley, TERCs Using Data Director, was invited to participate in a data literacy meeting sponsored by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Meeting organizers Ellen Mandinach of WestEd and Edith Gummer of Education Northwest brought together a diverse group of education experts to create a common understanding of data literacy and provide a foundation for teacher preparation in using data to improve student learning. Nunnaley was one of eight professional development providers at the gathering held May 3 and 4 in San Francisco, which also included researchers and policy makers.

It was reaffirming to participate in discussions that focused on what teachers need to know to do this work, said Nunnaley. Teachers have to be put at the center of the process so that real change can occur at the point of instruction, and the meeting really underscored that point.

Nunnaley was selected to attend the meeting because of the groundbreaking work TERC initiated over a decade ago in the development of its Using Data program. She has helped to hone and streamline the process of collaborative inquiry that engages teachers in cycles of targeted data analysis. TERCs Using Data team has worked in over 23 states, hundreds of districts and schools nationwide building teacher-led data teams and facilitating data analysis techniques and instructional improvement steps that result in increased student achievement.

Fabri-Kal Converts to IP Surveillance System with ipConfigure Software

(PRWEB) May 16, 2012

Fabri-Kal, the seventh largest plastic thermoformer in North America, previously installed an analog video surveillance system at one of their manufacturing facilities to monitor and mitigate problematic employee conduct. The initial surveillance installation included analog cameras and numerous costly DVR components that were unmanageable with existing internal resources.

The common perception of a high upfront investment initially deterred Fabri-Kal from considering an analog to IP conversion. As Fabri-Kals surveillance woes intensified, they reevaluated their security strategy and exposed analogs many shortcomings, both in total cost of ownership and performance. Moving from an analog system to a digital system was a clear and simple decision for Fabri-Kal; for the cost of just a memory upgrade and external storage array, they were able to make the upgrade using their existing server.

Fabri-Kal was immediately attracted to ipConfigure because of its competitive pricing. While Enterprise Surveillance Manager (ESM) is a more affordable solution, Frank Pangonis, Fabri-Kal IT Department, also notes that ESM out-trumps every other manufacturer on features, usability, dependability, and ease of implementation all in a simple browser-based solution that requires NO client-server software deployment. Another attribute that sealed the deal for Fabri-Kal was ipConfigures responsive and professional support team. Pangonis remarked: Contacting the support team is wonderfully simple. If it were any easier, I would have to add them to our payroll!

:: About ipConfigure, Inc.

Founded in 2003 and headquartered in Norfolk, Virginia, ipConfigure, Inc. is a privately owned research and development software company. A leading developer of enterprise IP video surveillance solutions, ipConfigure offers a variety of products – all of which leverage a browser-based interface and are capable of seamlessly supporting unlimited cameras, locations and users in a centralized or distributed architecture.

Dr. Groves states, With the rise in the number of occupational injuries and the skyrocketing cost of healthcare, our unique injury prevention programs are designed to not only prevent occupational injuries, but reduce overall health care costs. As a side effect, employees go home safe to their family at the end of each work day.

Veolia Environmental Services (VES), a worldwide leader in providing environmental solutions including the collection, treatment, and recycling of hazardous and solid wastes, has experienced a drastic reduction in reported work-related Injuries since joining the Groves WorkReady pilot program. We have seen a 55% drop in OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) recordables, says Wes Salmons, Regional Safety Manager of VESs Solid Waste division.

When our comprehensive programs are well supported at all levels by our clients, the results are measurable and the gains significant. Veolia is a great example of that.
