What is Super School Software? It is a place where teachers are excited about teaching and technology designer are having fun designing new teacher and student productivity tools for teachers who love to teach. For the past twenty years Super School and its software designers have be researching and designing custom software for teachers, schools, and school districts. We are a team of educators and software designers that work very closely with the FileMaker Corporation. We use a wide variety of software tools to design the software that you need to get the job down in your school or school district. Throughout this site you will see samples of the types of teacher and student productivity tools that we build. In order to serve you better we have offices in Texas, Arizona, Florida, and California. Our team build the first electronic IEP for the Los Angeles Unified School District, in addition, we have the programs Goals, Objectives, Benchmarks, and Standards and IEP ToolBar to help special education teachers to write better IEP?s. Our lesson planners and lesson planning custom software are being used all over the country, with our largest installation in the Cleveland City School. We have a updated stand-alone lesson planning program called Lesson Plan Designer. This is an inexpensive way to improve lesson planning through out your school. For the past four years we have been using electronic portfolios in special education and in the middle schools. This has always been a source of inspiration and we will continue to improve our electronic portfolios as we work with teachers from around the United States. The Super School Portfolio Assessment Kit is an innovative way to have your assessment, portfolio conferences and student artifacts inform your instruction. We are always happy to talk to educators and others about the merits of portfolio assessment and what we can do to make your existing portfolio assessment solution better.

Custom Software and New Data Decision Making Software

Please take a look at our new data decision maker. We just want you to look at the video and then tell us if we found a better way for you to make decisions about how students can raise test scores. We call our new tool ?Snap Shot?. It was designed by a school principal and a dedicated team of teachers that were willing to put in the time to get the software to do the things that needed to be done. The combination of great leadership and good software design has proven to be the right combination for success. Remember, if the software needs to be adjusted or modified in any way, we can do it. Take the first step by just letting us show you a video. Contact us Suprschool@aol.com

After School Programs

In 2007-2008, you will see a lot of new Super School high motivational after school and inner session ideas pop-up for the middle schools. Our performing arts music and memory building programs are unique. You can find our more information by visiting www.BobBarboza.com.

For the past five years we have been conducting after school percussion classes for SDC, RSP, and gifted and talented students in the Paramount Unified School District. Students work hard all year and then end up in a wonderful theme based musical. This is made possible thorough the efforts of team of dedicated teachers who volunteer their time to keep performing arts alive in the school. This K-8 performing arts program is one of the best in the area.

Kid?s Talk Radio

This program helps kids to listen, speak, read, write, problem solve, and compute. Students learn how to be journalist. Students have opportunities to become writers, reporters, radio announcers, station managers, and sound effects engineers leaning some old tricks from old time radio and some new tricks from the Super School University Technology Department. This is a very exciting program that allows our students to publish their work on the PNN Personal News Network. Our goal is to have a Kid?s Talk Radio Reporter in as many schools as possible. We are on the lookout for teachers from around the country to work with us to make it possible for students to take advantage of this new opportunity. We are happy to talk to you about this exciting program.

Kid’s Talk Radio Custom USB Flash Drive Fundraising Programs

Given that schools have an increasing need for fundraisers, and traditional fundraising (candy, cookie dough, et al) is frowned upon for health reasons, Kid’s Talk Radio presents a unique and timely set of programs to raise meaningful funds while contributing to a responsible and progressive computing environment.

Kid’s Talk Radio Store-It USB Thumb Drives (Flash drives) are available in 4 capacities (512MB, 1GB, 2GB, 4GB), 14 colors, and come with custom laser engraving.  Schools are able to engrave school name, mascot/logo, teacher name, student name and other personalized information.  Kid’s Talk Radio product is made of durable extruded aluminum and includes with a lifetime warranty. 

Store-It USB Flash Drive Fundraising Programs are available in a variety of formats:

I.                    Revenue Share Fundraiser Code

a.       In this program, a school signs up for a fundraiser code.  All Store-It Thumb Drive orders placed on the Kid’s Talk Radio Super School Software web site referencing the fundraising code are eligible for a 20% revenue share.  Schools may promote in a variety of ways including direct links from their website to the Super School  website.

II.                   School Store Sales

a.       Many schools buy flash drives in the school color, engraved with the school name, logo, slogan or other information.  Students are able to buy from the school store at a price and markup determined by the school.

III.                Traditional “Order Form” Fundraiser

a.       Given that some schools like to actively involve many students, and create a competitive and measurable selling scenario, we have created an order form and order entry system that enables students to “take orders” from parents, friends and others in the traditional “wrapping paper” format.  Orders forms and money are turned into the designated school contact and consolidated orders are coordinated with Super School Software and its fundraising partners. 

IV.                Event Specific “On Site Ordering” Fundraiser

a.       We have developed a system that enables schools to process orders and receive payment at specific events.  In this program, orders are entered into a custom web page (powered by FileMaker).  The school collects money at the event and coordinates order and delivery after the event.  A public school in Kentucky used this program to offer and sell 700 school branded/personalized flash drives at the student registration.
  

V.                  Custom Flash Drive Gift Cards (Q4 2007)

a.       A prepaid custom USB flash drive gift card is being developed.  A school fundraiser would buy the gift cards and sell at some mark-up.  Gift card owners would enter a scratch off “secret code” on the Super School Software Gift Card web site to receive a “Net to Zero” (no taxes, no shipping) custom flash drive.
