The Fall River School District has been using administrative software for one year. The software manages and maintains records on student demographics, grades, financial information and academic standings compared to state standards. Database templates are provided and all cumulative information is calculated. Other administrative software programs track student schedules, curriculum standards and lesson plans. It assists educators and administrators by providing records, consolidating data and printing reports.
Some teachers generate lesson plans from curriculum assessment software programs.
Others plan an entire school year with class trips, tests, projects and different activities. In the Fall River School District, teachers and administrators take up very little time to learn how to use the software. Each person spends approximately one to two days learning all the software's features and how to use the applications specific to their needs. There are many useful administrative software products. The management databases can encompass individual or school academic assessment.
