Join us at PowerSchool University 2008

To help you get the most of your investment in PowerSchool - the leading web-based student information system – Pearson offers PowerSchool University (PSU) 2008. Providing district and site-based staff with hands-on staff development, PowerSchool University helps you take advantage of the robust features and capabilities of the PowerSchool student information system. At PSU, you'll learn dozens of expert tips, tricks and techniques for your every day tasks. You will be able to choose from a variety of courses -- for beginning to experienced users -- designed specifically for your role at the school or district. In addition, you'll have the opportunity to meet fellow educators and develop lasting peer support networks. Whether you're new to PowerSchool or a seasoned user, we invite you to learn, share, and experience all that PowerSchool University 2008 has to offer. “PSU was extraordinarily valuable for me. Every class I attended was useful, useable knowledge. I really appreciated the ability to change my schedule as the week progressed. As I learned things it gave me the opportunity to change courses so I could customize my schedule to meet my needs. It has left me wanting more.”

What’s new for PSU 2008?

PowerSchool is continually improving staff development programs to best meet the needs of our customers. With input from previous years' attendees, we will continue to have:

	The ability for you to select courses based on your level of experience in specific topics rather than general experience.
	Full day hands-on lab classes.
	All-day access to Open Lab.

New for PSU 2008, we have added:

	A Custom Pages course that incorporates strategies demonstrated at our PowerSchool Advanced Learning Summit.
	SQL and PowerViews courses for Mac and PC users.
	New courses to cover more Attendance, Managing Test Scores and an Introduction to Edustructures.

Who should attend?

The PowerSchool University four-day staff development session is structured specifically for PowerSchool system administrators, IT/IS coordinators, district/campus-level users (administrators and coordinators), and campus-level administration (principals, counselors, secretaries, attendance clerks, and registrars).

Hands-on staff development using state of the art technology.

You will receive a laptop computer to use during your time at PowerSchool University. You are welcome to bring your own wireless laptop to PSU, however, please make sure it meets the minimum requirements (described on the Register page). A wireless network (IEEE 802.11b and 802.11g compliant) will be deployed throughout the PSU campus, so you can access the network and the Internet at all times. We will have a dedicated technical staff onsite should you require any assistance with your laptop or with the wireless network. “2007 was my first experience with PowerSchool University. It was SPECTACULAR! I shared with our Deputy Superintendent that this is the best conference that I have ever attended. I truly mean that, and I've been an educator for about 13 years. I was most impressed by the quality of the trainers and the ability to redesign my entire PSU experience online. All trainers that I spent time with were fantastic. They knew their material, were obviously passionate about it and did a great job of balancing the novice and advanced users. The curriculum presentations were great. Tech support was great. Finally, even the food was great. I can't wait until next year's PSU!”

“Thank you to those involved in the planning and presenting at PSU. I have been to many "computer training" seminars and conventions, and for the first time in 15 years have come away knowing that the time/money was well spent.”
