iNtervene App Offers Educators RTI Tracking Tool to Measure Progress in the Classroom


Indianapolis, Indiana (PRWEB) July 03, 2013

Archon Education Systems announces the release of iNtervene, a Response to Intervention (RTI) and progress monitoring iPad app for educators. A team of educators and school administrators developed the app after realizing a need to track and report students progress toward educational and behavioral ambitions in the classroom. Educators can download iNterevene by visiting the Archon Education Systems web site http://www.archoneduction.com or by entering “iNtervene” into the iTunes shop search bar.

&#13

The iNtervene App is an innovative platform for teachers to enter student information, and track and monitor progress at individual and group levels with the touch of a finger. Teachers can develop intervention frameworks inside the app, evaluate progress with student goals to decide if the intervention is successful and make data-driven choices for adjusting the intervention framework. Student and group progress can be reported and shared with Specialist Studying Communities (PLCs), colleagues and parents in easy-to-study graphical representations, offering concrete proof of intervention effectiveness. iNtervene is the contemporary way of sharing true-time student information in a powerful, fluid and dynamic manner so that educators are no longer bound to their pencils and paper.

&#13

As a school psychologist, Jason Cochran has seen a expanding want for tools that assist educators in making data-primarily based choices in an effective manner. By no means prior to have teachers, administrators and help staff been asked to do so significantly with student information in schools, says Cochran, a member of the iNtervene App development team. In spite of these escalating expectations, there has not been an effective and complete way to gather, analyze and share this info with essential stakeholders. This is precisely what inspired the improvement of iNtervene.

&#13

When Eric Bransteter, assistant principal at White River Elementary in Noblesville, Ind, and Jered Pennington, assistant principal at Guarantee Road Elementary in Noblesville, Ind, first came to me with the require for this app, I believed it was a strong idea, Tony Unfried, President of Archon Apps says. But when Jason Cochran came to me quickly following with the same require, I knew there have to be a lot of other educators seeking for a comparable resolution.

&#13

We employed to have paper RTI forms to share with our PLCs to discuss student progress. This wasn’t efficient, so we changed this paper type into an electronic document, says Bransteter. Switching paper types to an electronic document still didnt let Bransteter and his colleagues to see if the RTI frameworks had been helping students close the gap. They tried manually entering data into spreadsheets in order to see graphical representations of a students progress. This was a time consuming process, and became much less of a focus, which meant there was no way to track if the interventions were creating a distinction systematically. This is why they developed iNtervene.

&#13

We wanted to give educators anything they can use to rapidly and efficiently enter data on the fly, rather than recording data and entering it later, Unfried says. When we started constructing this app, we focused on creating one thing that is easy to get ahold of, effortless to comprehend and easy to use, which are underlying themes for each app Archon creates. iNtervene hits the mark with all three. The app is basic to use, simple to realize and incredibly inexpensive at just $ 24.95 per download.

&#13

Archon Apps also developed and maintains iAspire, an app to help these in the education field to carry out teacher evaluations. Archon Apps has created customizable forms based on the RISE Indiana Evaluation and Development System. The Indiana Teacher Effectiveness Rubric has been put into a digital kind to be utilized on the iPad or Net Browsers.

&#13

Archon Education Systems, a mobile and internet application organization specializing in educational applications continually innovates and maintains the iNtervene App. The iNtervene App was designed for a singular purpose: to make tools designed to increase efficiency in the daily operations of educators and to optimize the learning outcomes for all students. Driven by the belief that educators can aid all students reach their complete possible with the right tools, Archon Education Systems is committed to building software applications that assistance these outcomes.

Upbeat Minnesota Foreclosed Residences, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac Q3 Report Shows Progress In Stopping Foreclosures


Minneapolis, Minnesota (PRWEB) January 05, 2013

The Minnesota Foreclosure Prevention Q3 report states, “There had been 4,451 foreclosures in Minnesota in Q3 of 2012, down 10 % from Q3 of 2011. Although Metro foreclosures (down 12%) saw a greater drop than Higher Minnesota (down 7%), the relative relief was widespread, with the prime 10 counties in foreclosure seeing declines, year-over-year”. Although declines in Minnesota house foreclosures reflect a statewide trend over 20011 – 2012, the number of foreclosed houses are nonetheless historically high, upwards of 300% higher than foreclosure totals in years prior to the housing crisis.

&#13

Lenders, who have frequently resisted erasing mortgage debt, are now forgiving millions of dollars in house loans. The distinction indicated in the Foreclosure Prevention Report has come from government incentives, political pressure, and a $ 25 billion settlement amongst 5 major lenders and 49 attorneys basic. “Property owners, feeling ‘stuck’ unable to sell their residence before they can get a new one, are properly locked out of the housing market. Five years into the housing recession, theyre also more likely to think about the drastic move of walking away from their mortgage, adding to shadow inventory,” says Jenna Thuening, owner of Property Location.

&#13

Highlights in the Minnesota Foreclosed Properties Q3 Report show powerful and steady progress&#13

&#13
Twin Cities foreclosed residences in 2011 Q3 totaled 2,969&#13

Twin Cities foreclosed houses in 2011 Q3 totaled 2,615&#13

Twin Cities foreclosed houses down 11.9%&#13

31 counties reported far more foreclosed residences and 58 counties showed fewer foreclosed homes

Encouraging news released January three by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac completed much more than 134,000 foreclosure prevention actions in the third quarter of 2012.

&#13

Leading Points In TheFHFA Foreclosure Prevention Report:

&#13

1) Year-to-date, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have helped property owners by facilitating roughly 411,000 foreclosure prevention actions.

&#13

two) Almost 38,000 quick sales and deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure had been completed in Q3 of 2012, up 4 percent over Q2.

&#13

three) 45 percent of struggling residence borrowers who received loan modifications in the third quarter reduced their monthly payment by over 30 %.

&#13

four) Much more than a single-third of loan modifications completed in the third quarter integrated principal forbearance. NOTE: see explanation that principal forbearance is not the very same as principal reduction.

&#13

five) The number of the Enterprises delinquent borrowers has declined 9 % since the beginning of 2012.

&#13

six) REO inventory continued to decline as property dispositions outpaced house acquisitions in the course of the third quarter. An REO (Genuine Estate Owned) is a home that goes back to the mortgage firm right after an unsuccessful foreclosure auction and are typically in poor condition.

&#13

To help stabilize the housing industry, proponents of principal reduction argue that each home owners and lenders are far better off avoiding those defaults. The recent National Mortgage Settlement between 49 states, numerous federal agencies and 5 big banks is hoping to market the practice by providing those lenders with incentives to reduce loan balances, says Thuening. Home Location sees the following techniques foreclosure prevention actions effect home owners:

&#13

House Forfeiture Actions

&#13

1) Brief Sales&#13

two) Deeds-In-Lieu of Foreclosure

&#13

Home Retention Actions

&#13

1) Forbearance Plans&#13

two) Repayment Plans&#13

3) Loan Modifications

&#13

Calculated Threat explains what this term ‘principal forbearance’ actually means. What the FDIC apparently implies by ‘principal forbearance’ is not what most men and women think they mean by ‘principal reduction’. Nonetheless, with the principal, what the FDIC is performing is not forgiving principal but providing an interest-totally free forbearance of repayment of part of the principal. This indicates that the actual principal amount due and payable at maturity of the loan (or sale of the home) is the original unmodified principal quantity, much less any and all periodic principal payments the borrower makes until maturity or sale.

&#13

Quick sales and deeds-in-lieu spare the home owners from the foreclosure method. Even so, they still have to leave their properties and that is traumatic for the homeowner. “The preferred outcome is to preserve property owners in their houses, if attainable, with a permanent principal reduction. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Shaun Donovan mentioned his agency wants to encourage much more principal write-downs to keep people in their properties, even when those loans are backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac,” according to a report in The Hill posted on March 4, 2012 titled Dems Raise Pressure on Fannie, Freddie Regulator to Create-down Mortgages. The Foreclosure Prevention Report for 2012 shows the dedicated efforts of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to that finish.
