password at any time. The administrator may add or modify a student’s assessment
data from the Site at any time.
Data Collection and Use
We collect a limited amount of personal information from educators,
administrators, parents and non-registered users ("Users") about themselves and
their students in order to be able to provide the services through the Site in
connection with Review 360. This Site is only intended for use by educators in

and is not intended for use by the student. We limit the collection, use and

least one License Manager, whose name is provided to the Site. The License
Manager also provides us with the necessary contact information for the
administrator. The License Manager will be responsible for setting up all
applicable professionals utilizing this License. License Managers are also
responsible for creating additional administrator and professional-level

educators are asked to manually enter their students' information. To create
a record for a student, you need to supply us with the student's grade,
unique student number, and campus of registration (this information is used

following information: the student's first language, ethnicity and class
level, as well as telling us whether the student participates in an
Individualized Education Program (IEP), or any other customized demographics
that your school or district asks to collect. Such optional information would
be used solely to provide the services to the Licensee or User. Users are
responsible to maintain the confidentiality of their password and user
identification and therefore this information should not be disclosed to any
third party.
* Students: Except for collecting the student information from a school
official or educator as required for recording information, the Site does not
request or collect any other personal information regarding students from the
schools, administrators, educators, students or parents. In no event do we

WriteToLearn™
WriteToLearn is a tool for building writing skills and reading comprehension in
grades 4-12. This web-based program evaluates students’ understanding of text,
not just grammar and spelling. It also gives educators the ability to deliver
on-demand, personalized feedback.
Access and Information Correction
WriteToLearn is a web-based product of Pearson. Access to WriteToLearn and
reports are password protected. Before the School can use WriteToLearn, the
school's administrator establishes logins and passwords for each participating
educator who in turn provides logins and passwords for students enrolled in
participating classes. A school may also import into WriteToLearn a file
containing student names and assigned passwords. Pearson will use this
information to set up and provide user access, supply the WriteToLearn product
to the School and for statistical research and analysis.
Data Collection and Use
Student responses from WriteToLearn activities are collected and scored
automatically. Through this Site, the School, through the student's educator (as
designated on the Student Enrollment file), may obtain and print reports about
the results for that student and track such student's learning progress.
Data derived from student responses may be analyzed and aggregated by Pearson
for research and statistical analysis purposes to assess the validity, usability
and quality of the WriteToLearn product. Research and statistical analysis data
will exclude the student's name and the educator's name and email address, but
may include responses and results, as well as demographic data supplied
including (a) school and school district name and geographic location; (b) class
name (as specified by the School); (c) grade; and (d) gender. Summary results of
the research and statistical analysis may be shared by Pearson with third
parties.
Pearson will take appropriate, commercially standard steps to keep all
personally identifiable information about students and educators confidential.
Pearson will not share any such personal information with any third party (other
than the School) except in the following circumstances: (a) in response to
subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, to the extent permitted and as
restricted by law; (b) when disclosure is required to maintain security and
integrity of the Site, or to protect any Site user's security or the security of
other persons, consistent with applicable laws.
Ounce and Work Sampling
The Ounce Scale is an observational assessment for evaluating infants’ and
toddlers’ development from birth to 3½ years. The Work Sampling System® is an
early childhood assessment tool that allows educators to evaluate the skills of
children age 3 through third grade. Students demonstrate what they know through
a series of evaluations, which allows their educators to make informed decisions
about how to guide instruction.
Access and Information Correction
Users cannot change their unique user identification but they may change their
password at any time. The educator for a student or administrator may add or
modify a child's assessment data from the Site at any time.
Data Collection and Use
We collect a limited amount of personal information from educators,
administrators, parents and non-registered users about themselves and their
students in order to be able to provide the services through the Site in
connection with Work Sampling Online and Ounce Online. This Site is only
intended for use by parents or guardians and educators, schools and/or school
districts (collectively, "Schools"), and is not intended for use by the student.
We limit the collection, use and disclosure of personal information in
accordance with this Privacy Policy. In no event do we ask children or students
for any personal information directly either online or offline.
* Administrators: Each Work Sampling Online and Ounce Online licensee using the
Site must designate at least one License Manager, whose name is provided to
the Site. The License Manager also provides us with the necessary contact
information for the administrator. The License Manager will be responsible
for setting up all applicable districts and schools utilizing this License.
License Managers are also responsible for creating additional administrator
and educator accounts. Once entered, each such User is assigned a user
identification and password, enabling them to log onto the Site and to enter
or modify student Work Sampling Online and Ounce Online assessment data for
students in their class(es). THE ENTRY OF ALL STUDENT PERSONAL DATA OR WORK
SAMPLING ONLINE OR OUNCE ONLINE ASSESSMENT DATA IS THE SCHOOL'S
RESPONSIBILITY AND PEARSON ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY TO ENTER, COLLECT, OR
REVIEW ANY SUCH DATA.
* Educators: Educators with Users IDs and passwords may log onto the Site. If
an administrator has not imported or otherwise entered the following
information regarding the educator's classes and students, educators are
asked to manually enter their students' information. To create a record for a
student, you need to supply us with the student's name, birth date, and
gender (this information is used to personalize the content of the Site). In
addition, if you are registering as an educator or a school, you also have
the option of supplying us with the following information: the student's
first language, ethnicity and class level, as well as telling us whether the
student participates in an Individualized Education Program (IEP), or any
other customized demographics that your school or district asks to collect.
Such optional information would be used solely to create aggregated
non-personalized outcome group progress reports that may be desired by an
administrator or a school district. You may at any time remove from the Site
any child record that you create. If you do so, all assessments,
recommendations, portfolio entries, and other personal information associated
with such records will simultaneously be removed. Users are responsible to
maintain the confidentiality of their password and user identification and
therefore this information should not be disclosed to any third party.

accessible only to educators, administrators or other authorized school
official. Personally identifiable assessment results or conclusions are not
disclosed to any third party although we may share non-personally
identifiable aggregate data.

IP Addresses
An IP address is a number that is assigned automatically to your computer
whenever you use the World Wide Web. Web servers – the big computers that “serve
up” Web pages – automatically identify your computer by its IP address. Pearson
collects IP addresses for system administration; to report aggregate information
to our advertisers, sponsors, and partners; and to audit the use of our Service.
When visitors request pages from Pearson sites, our servers log the guests’ IP
addresses. We typically do not link IP addresses to anything personally
identifiable. This means that a visitor’s session will be logged, but the
visitor remains anonymous to us. We can and will use IP addresses to identify a
visitor if any of the circumstances mentioned in the above section titled
“Sharing Of Personally Identifying Information With Third Parties” occurs.

of such information so you should read their privacy policy before participating
in such activities.

terms of this Service. Please make sure to review such Other Site’s terms of use
and privacy policies prior to interacting with such sites.

privacy. However, you should understand that “perfect security” is never
guaranteed.
