DIBELS is a family of brief indicators used to screen and monitor foundational literacy development. The University of Oregon maintains DIBELS 8th Edition materials, while commercial products such as Amplify mCLASS and Acadience provide related administration, data, or successor assessment environments.

Districts may use downloadable measures, a commercial platform, or locally managed scoring, so a product record named only DIBELS can blur the assessment framework with the software actually used. Districts should align administration, accommodations, score interpretation, data access, and retention with the intended use of the assessment.

eChalk is a K–12 website and communications platform for managing district, school, class, group, and staff pages from a shared content-management system. It helps districts publish timely information while giving central administrators control over site structure, design, permissions, and content sharing.

The platform includes responsive templates, calendars, directories, news, alerts, translation support, and eChalk GUIDE accessibility checks. eChalk became part of Edlio in 2021 but continues to maintain a distinct platform and customer-support presence, so it should not be treated as a retired product.

Edthena is a video-coaching and professional-learning platform for educators. Teachers record or upload classroom video, select evidence, reflect on their practice, and collaborate with coaches, mentors, supervisors, or peers through time-linked comments and structured coaching activities.

Districts and preparation programs can use Edthena for coaching cycles, induction, professional learning communities, observations, and evidence-based reflection without requiring every participant to be in the classroom at the same time. Optional AI-supported reflection tools provide guided feedback, but districts should define appropriate use and privacy expectations.

eduCLIMBER is a whole-child MTSS data and intervention platform from Renaissance. It brings academic, attendance, behavior, social-emotional, assessment, and intervention information together so school teams can identify needs, create support plans, monitor progress, and review whether services are producing results.

Behavior is one important data domain within the platform, but eduCLIMBER is broader than a dedicated discipline or rewards system. It is most useful to districts seeking a shared MTSS workspace that connects behavior patterns with attendance and academic performance and supports recurring team decision-making.

Eduspire provides online professional-development and graduate-level courses for educators, with offerings focused on instructional practice, technology integration, student needs, and other school priorities. Educators enroll in scheduled online sections and complete course requirements through a structured learning environment.

District staff may use Eduspire for continuing education, Act 48 hours, or graduate credit through identified partners, subject to local and California acceptance rules. It is a course provider rather than a district-wide PD management platform, so approval, reimbursement, salary-credit, and transcript decisions remain with the employer or credentialing authority.

Videri is Instructure's K–12 data visualization product for combining information from SIS, assessment, attendance, behavior, special education, gradebook, and other systems. It gives educators watchlists, scorecards, longitudinal charts, accountability dashboards, and drill-down views that move from district trends to individual students.

Instructure now directs prospective Videri customers toward Elevate K–12 Analytics, indicating a product transition within the Instructure data and interoperability portfolio. Existing customers should confirm whether their deployment remains Videri or has migrated to Elevate and whether the Certica Connect integration layer is still part of the licensed architecture.

Not to be confused with Elevate Data Sync or Elevate Data Quality: those are separate products for data exchange and data validation. Elevate K-12 Analytics provides dashboards and analysis.

An instructional support product for teachers serving multilingual learners. Ellevation Strategies combines professional learning and classroom activities that help educators develop language, scaffold grade-level content, and tailor instruction to learner needs.

Not to be confused with: Ellevation’s core student data and compliance platform has a separate role from Strategies instructional support.

Emote Connect is a student emotional check-in and support-request platform. Students can share how they are feeling, identify what is contributing to that feeling, and request help from a trusted adult; staff receive information intended to support timely outreach and follow-up.

The product can contribute useful social-emotional and behavior-intervention information, including goals and Check-In/Check-Out style monitoring, but it is not a discipline or rewards platform. The vendor's site currently presents Emote Connect as an early-access offering, so districts should verify production status, implementation scope, support, and data practices before procurement.

EntrySign is a visitor-, staff-, contractor-, and student-sign-in platform used by schools and other organizations. It supports preregistration, kiosk or attended arrival, identity and policy questions, badge printing, host notifications, check-out, and current-presence reporting across one or more sites.

The product originates in the United Kingdom, so California districts should verify U.S.-specific identity screening, background databases, custody workflows, hosting, contractual privacy terms, accessibility, support hours, and emergency procedures. General sign-in capability should not be mistaken for all K–12 visitor-safety requirements.

Envoy Visitors is a digital visitor-management system that replaces paper sign-in sheets with configurable registration, check-in, screening, badge, host-notification, and audit workflows. Schools can use it to know who is expected, who is onsite, why they are visiting, and whether they completed required approvals or documents.

Envoy is a broad workplace platform used in education and other industries rather than a K–12-only safety product. Its visitor tools can integrate with access-control, identity, communication, and workplace systems; districts should confirm which screening databases, student or guardian workflows, emergency-accountability functions, and education-specific integrations are included.

Evaluat’d is a K–12 employee-performance evaluation platform that lets districts reproduce their negotiated forms and rubrics in an online workflow. HR teams use it to assign cycles, track completion, notify participants, collect observations and signatures, and retain evaluation records.

Dashboards and analytics show progress by location, evaluator, employee group, and status, while employees can access their documents through district sign-in. Current district evidence confirms continued use even though the vendor’s public marketing site is difficult to verify.
