VRSchoolhouse has designed a "reading screening" application to allow parents and school personnel to evaluate reading difficulties. Based upon Dr. Hurford's research and the current CARRD program, the site will be a powerful tool to help pinpoint reading difficulties.

President & founder of VRSchoolhouse co-authors education book.
Dr. Randy McDaniel has co-authored an education book regarding the use of data in school improvement. The No Child Left Behind (NCLB) act tasks educators with more than just reporting results: the mandate is now clearer than ever for educators, from teachers to district administrators, to act on those results to improve each student’s performance.
A single composite score for a school will likely be of little use to educators. Instead, educators will need to leverage existing data and break it down for greater meaning that can be applied to the campus and the classroom. It is critical to make the most of the data educators already have in hand, both from the NCLB act and other existing sources, to improve student performance.
To proceed, all educators will need an understanding of why it is important to disaggregate data, how leveraging data can lead to more informed decision making, and how to interpret results.
Disaggregating Data in Schools details what data disaggregation is and why it is necessary, types and sources of data and tests, how to break down data using technology support, how to understand test data, and how data can be used at each level. Both district and campus level staff and teachers can benefit from using the terms and ideas presented in this book to initiate a common dialogue for continuous improvement.
