SUPPORT

TESTERS &
RE-TESTERS
STAAR MASTER® utilizes spaced repetition of skills and concepts so students internalize and master the standards. Both first-time test takers and re-testers benefit from this approach.
Research/Case Studies
ECS Learning Systems is committed to creating effective supplementary educational products for all students. We believe that independent scientific research is necessary to quantify the outcomes our products achieve in the classroom. The role of efficacy in school district decision-making processes has increased due to federal funding requirements calling for the scientific support of educational products. The resulting scientific findings, in turn, inform the design and development of our future offerings. ECS understands validation requires ongoing studies and is committed to ensuring our products meet your students’ needs.
