Atlanta Public Schools (APS) and PCG Education have been working
together since 2001 in multiple areas, including special education
management, Medicaid reimbursement, educator effectiveness, the
improvement of operational processes, and management reporting.
In 2010, PCG Education partnered with APS to deliver a major SharePoint
portal upgrade and to develop the district’s Teacher Effectiveness
Dashboard (TED) and an Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW). This work
is funded in large part through a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates
Foundation, as part of the foundation’s “Effective Teacher in Every
Classroom” initiative. The $10 million investment assists APS’ work to
recruit, prepare, place, and support effective teachers in every classroom
throughout the district.
