Background Information
Urban Education Exchange
Urban Education Exchange's mission is to eliminate the achievement gap in reading comprehension. We are one of the few organizations in the country focused on supporting elementary and middle school teachers with the resources needed for teaching reading comprehension to low-income and minority students. UEE's clients consist of 51 schools across 8 states serving approximately 700 teachers. UEE provides these clients with: 1. A reading comprehension curriculum 2. Teacher training to support the implementation of the curriculum 3. Assessments and analyses that measure student achievement In-person training is available as an optional service. Approximately 25% of UEE client schools choose to have some level of in-person training.
Current Website and Infrastructure
UEE's current website is running on a proprietary content management system developed by RunTime Technologies in New York, NY. While the current system does meet some needs well, being tied to a single vendor has impacted some expansion and growth plans in the past. The current site is hosted with Verizon in Cartaret, NJ. UEE does not have access to the source code of the current system but can get the underlying data to move it to a new system.
