Quickly and Objectively Demonstrate That Your Veteran Teachers are Highly Qualified!

The WinOcular HOUSSE Employee Evaluation and Documentation Software is the perfect solution to prove and document that your veteran teachers and paraprofessionals are Highly-Qualified.

The ESEA act of 2001 defined “Highly-Qualified” for new hires, (and our Applicant Tracking Software helps you determine this instantly), but it was left to each state to create an objective method of demonstrating that their veteran teachers and paraprofessionals are "Highly-Qualified".

This methodology is called HOUSSE: The Highly Objective and Uniform State Standards of Evaluation.

Our software lets your employees tally their experience and demonstrate that they are Highly Qualified in their chosen content area.

It also tabulates ALL the content areas where they might also be Highly Qualified.

By allowing your employees to create their own electronic portfolio of skills and experience you ensure that everyone has the opportunity to demonstrate their skills and experience.

Most Importantly, the verification and validation stage then ensures that you affirm each claim and have the all appropriate documentation and evidence necessary.

If the score meets or exceeds your states’ HOUSSE requirements, the process is complete. For employees who do not meet this score, the software even provides a clear road map of activities to most efficiently achieve HOUSSE certification.

There is no faster or more effective way to establish Highly-Qualified status of your veteran teachers than the WinOcular HOUSSE Highly Qualified Evaluation and Documentation Software.

More Than Just Applicant Tracking

"What makes WinOcular different?" was a question posed recently. And while the urge to respond bullet point-by bullet point was almost irresistible, we chose to respond with the key elements based on our product design and core technology -not just a we have this feature, and this feature, and this feature..... etc.

One of the key factors to understand is that the WinOcular products are almost infinitely flexible. Each installation is customized and tailored to the needs of the District. While there are excellent templates that we provide, most of our customers prefer to have us help them optimize and adapt their business processes with our on-line technology.

In 2004, look for a series of articles that show, from both technical and user-centric points of view, why it pays to partner with CCR, Inc!
