"I like SucessMaker Enterprise because it allows students to use skills that I have been teaching them in a different setting outside of my structured lessons. Also, it allows them to review skills and it prepares them for lessons that I will be teaching them in the future. Students have more confidence and achieve greater success after being introduced to skills on SuccessMaker Enterprise prior to being taught those same skills in the classroom. SME also gives them some alone time that they can look forward to during the day where they can work at their own pace in a more unstructured setting. SuccessMaker Enterprise is definitely a benefit to my students."
"SuccessMaker Enterprise is an outstanding product which provides ALL of our students individual instruction at their own level every day. The computer differentiates instruction for you. And the management system is the key to the software in knowing when and how to assist your students with interventions which include remediation and enrichment."
"SuccessMaker Enterprise provides me with the opportunity to meet the needs of all the students in my classroom. From the gifted students to the Learning Support students, I am able to customize courses to both remediate and accelerate my second grade curriculum."

Berwick implemented Pearson Digital Learning’s SuccessMaker in 1995 and upgraded to SuccessMaker Enterprise in 2005. Programs are funded by Title I and District Board of Education. All kindergarten through fifth grade elementary students use the SuccessMaker program. A Windows platform is used at all SuccessMaker workstations. Every elementary student spends 15 minutes, four days each week on the math program with the fifth day being utilized for remediation and enrichment. The SuccessMaker reading programs are provided to students twice per week.
The Berwick Area School District assessment scores, based on proficiency percentiles, were evaluated to determine a level of achievement in SuccessMaker that corresponds to a passing score on the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA) tests. The data clearly indicates that performance is on the rise since implementing the SuccessMaker program. The following graph reflects the district’s math assessment scores from 2001 through 2005 for kindergarten through twelfth grade students using the SuccessMaker program:
The district’s math assessment scores were at an average of 45 percent in 2001. By 2005, the rate assessment scores have steadily increased over 22 percent. The 2005 performance target for the district was 45 percent. This target goal was actually exceeded with an average score of 67.9 percent. The following graph reflects the district’s reading assessment scores from 2001 through 2005 for kindergarten through twelfth grade students using the SuccessMaker program:
The district’s reading assessment scores were at an average of 48 percent in 2001. By 2005, the rate assessment scores have steadily increased over 15 percent. The 2005 performance target for the district was 54 percent. This target was exceeded with an average score of 63.7 percent. Since implementation, the program has provided individualization to help meet district goals for differentiated instruction. The program customizes courses to both remediate and accelerate curriculum. The overall performance of the students has improved significantly resulting in great results on Pennsylvania state tests. The students have shown more confidence and achieve a higher level of success. With the given success of SuccessMaker and SuccessMaker Enterprise, Berwick Area School District has consistently increased their PSSA math scores.
