DataLab USA, the Germantown, MD-based provider of data-based decision support solutions for the education market was recognized at the 35th Annual Champion Leadership Awards for its work in developing an online decision support application for school systems.



This year's8217;s event, hosted by Congressman Major R. Owens and the Educational Technology Think Tank, brought together influential leaders from the public, private, and nonprofit community to recognize educators who are transforming education in traditionally underserved communities across America through the use of new, pioneering technologies.



This year, DataLab USA was recognized in conjunction with eighteen Principals in the Baltimore City Public School System. The Principals were participants in the Principal Seminar on Data-Based Decision Making for Congressional Recognition; a program in which the participants spent a week in an intensive hands-on, total immersion class to enhance their skills in using technological tools to access and analyze data to raise student achievement.



The data-based decision support system, designed and built by DataLab USA, allows educators to identify the specific learning needs of students and detects areas requiring more effective and efficient instructional strategies. The system allows for the development of whole-school and classroom interventions to ignite a passion for teaching and learning.



's8220;Data-driven decision-making ultimately leads to higher expectations for children, which, in turn, can lead to changes in developmentally appropriate practices affecting curriculum, instructional strategies, accommodations, and modifications to assist children,'s8221; states Olga Aigner, DataLab USA COO, 's8220;Our system provides educators with the tools they need to ensure all children receive an education that is appropriate for their abilities.'s8221;



Designed using SQL Server 2000 and ASP.NET, the secure website will enable the Maryland State Department of Education to comply with the No Child Left Behind Act. 's8220;The Database will allow educators to 's8216;follow's8217; the children as they move throughout the state,'s8221; explains Olga Aigner, 's8220;This enforces a 's8220;One Child, One Record's8221; concept and allow for the tracking of Adequate Yearly Progress.'s8221;
