DALLAS, July 23 /PRNewswire/ -- The Council of Administrators of
Special Education (CASE) announced today the formal endorsement of
VoyagerU(R), the professional development program produced and distributed
by Voyager Expanded Learning(R).
"VoyagerU is a unique professional development program that the CASE
Publication and Product Review Committee believes will be very beneficial
to the members of our organization. We are extremely impressed by Voyager's
commitment to preparing educators for the classroom," says John Faust,
chairperson, CASE Publication and Product Review Committee.
The endorsement of the VoyagerU program is based on the CASE
Publication and Product Review Committee's rigorous evaluation of the
products and research data submitted in support of the CASE Product Review
Rubric, which focuses on seven critical areas:
1. Product marketability and feasibility
2. Research base
3. Field testing
4. Company longevity and reputation
5. Enhancement of professional practice advocated by CASE/CEC policy
and/or standards
6. Addresses member identified needs
7. Evidence and documentation of customer satisfaction
"This endorsement is further evidence of how powerful VoyagerU is and
how highly regarded our education solutions are," says Dr. Robert
Pasternack, former U.S. assistant secretary for the Office of Special
Education and Rehabilitative Services and senior vice president of special
education for Voyager. He adds, "VoyagerU offers job-embedded, sustained,
high-quality, evidence-based comprehensive professional development using a
combination of distance education, adult learning principles and
coach-facilitated practice. All teachers can develop a common language and
knowledge of the science of teaching all students to read using VoyagerU."
In addition to the new VoyagerU endorsement, CASE continues to endorse
all three research-based intervention programs created by Voyager Expanded
Learning(R): Voyager Passport(TM), Passport Reading Journeys(TM) and
Vmath(R).
