The New York City Department of Education has signed IBM (www.ibm. com) to develop and deploy a new student management system to serve its roughly 1.1 million students and 90,000 teachers. The Achievement Reporting and Innovation System will be designed to measure student performance and progress in real time and provide that information to educators and parents.
According to the terms of the five-year, $80 million deal, IBM will deliver software, hardware, consulting, and technology services for the system. The aim, according to the NYC DoE, is to allow educators to adjust curricula to meet individual student needs.
