Engrade Makes the Difference

Challenge:Disconnected system
of resources
Engrade Implementation:One location for personalized
full-loop learning
Outcome:BCPS becomes more student-focused and
efficient
Result:Decrease in behavior and
attendance issues
In 2013, the Baltimore County Public Schools launched its Students & Teachers Accessing Tomorrow (STAT) initiative, a comprehensive effort to integrate technology across the district. As a key component of the initiative, BCPS envisioned a centralized digital learning ecosystem to facilitate planning, assessment, and communication for stakeholders across the education process—administrators, teachers, students and parents.
The district chose Engrade as the foundation for BCPS One, the site that brings together all of the district’s programs and initiatives around student data, assessments, curriculum, instruction, reporting and analysis. Previously BCPS housed these functions in separate systems with no capability to share meaningful information between them.
Today, Engrade’s connection capabilities enable BCPS to develop a complete picture of the learning cycle, drawing meaningful conclusions that help personalize learning and engage participants throughout the district.
Engrade is designed to consume content in a single, shared resource library that stretches across your district. Alongside our own trusted McGraw-Hill curriculum products, these content providers offer engaging and interactive assets, supplemental resources, tests and item banks. Engrade also offers full support for IMS Global standards for interoperability, including LTI, common cartridge, QTI, OneRoster, and Caliper.
