In delivering life-changing programming and opportunities for girls in the United States and Canada.

New evaluation from the American Institutes of Research (AIR) finds Girls Inc. Girls have a significant advantage over their peers in more than 20 key areas. The findings demonstrate that girls not only thrive at Girls Inc., they are also more likely than other girls to see themselves as leaders, with the skills and capabilities of influencing and improving their local communities. Informed by both the AIR study and an understanding of what is happening in girls' lives, in the newly released Stronger, Smarter, Bolder: Girls Take the Lead Report, Girls Inc.

In her own words, Cacho details how she suffered in silence with this condition and how, armed with courage, determination, and surprising allies, was able to overcome it and transform her life at every stage of her career development. Jackeline bravely shares a detailed narrative, with plenty of anecdotes, about one of the most difficult phases of her life. "This battle forced me to fully evaluate the importance of my life, I believe we all are Spiritual Warriors, we have to find the force that can help us to overcome anything," said Cacho. "I hope that my own experiences will help the millions who suffer every day from anxiety and panic attacks and helps them realize the best roads to treatment and recovery."

"The happy, the difficult and, at times, scary moments in her life have all been turned into invaluable lessons and recounted in Jackeline's honest autobiography, so that we can apply them to today's world.

"Her credibility and effort have been the keys to the success for this wonderful presenter who travels the world flying the flag for peace and success. She continues to make a mark on younger generations "Latinos Unidos Somos Imparables" (Latinos United are Unstoppable) in the face of whatever adversities they may experience, as she demonstrates in her first book "Mi Mochila Emocional" (My Emotional Backpack)", said the magazine.

Otus Releases Enterprise Analytics Tools for the K-12 Sector

Otus, the fast-growing edtech company based in Chicago, announced today the release of two transformational data analytics tools: Historical Analytics and the Otus Data Consortium.

Historical Analytics is designed to give school and district leaders a simplified way to see trends in student academic performance, engagement and social-emotional development, and ultimately the impact these have on state and local assessments over time.

The Otus Data Consortium allows neighboring or like-minded school districts to share and compare their student performance data using their own criteria. In practice: a High School Principal can generate a report instantly to see all of the student data from every feeder middle school in minutes. This allows school leaders to develop better plans for incoming students, and eliminates countless face-to-face meetings with incomplete data.

"Every industry in the world has a way to measure performance in real-time, except for K12 education. This means that schools are being run by leaders who, by no fault of their own, are forced to make decisions using incomplete or stagnant data, like state-test scores," said Andy Bluhm, CEO and Co-Founder of Otus. "With Otus, school and district leaders can pair student performance on infrequent high-stakes and benchmark assessments with real-time classroom data on how students are performing each day. By providing a complete learning picture, administrators have the foundation to continuously improve educational outcomes more rapidly than ever before ."

The challenge to seeing data in real-time, is the ability to collect data in real-time. Otus has overcome this challenge by building dozens of teacher-friendly tools that seamlessly integrate into one platform. Otus encourages frequent use by teachers by eliminating the need to bounce from one disconnected app to another to complete all of tasks associated with their jobs. From grading assignments to texting families, all of these tasks live in one place: Otus.

As Otus is used by teachers and students, performance data is organized, aggregated and paired with legacy data (state tests, college entrance exams, benchmark assessments) and made available for an infinite number of analyses in real-time so that critical decisions can be made based on the best and most accurate information.

In addition to detailed data analysis (gender, student subgroup, ethnicity/race, extracurriculars, etc.) that individual school systems can practice with their own students, Otus also released the Otus Data Consortium tool which gives school districts the ability to share their data with one another for cross-district analysis and idea sharing.

"As K12 educators work to collaborate, the ability to compare a single district to similar school systems, or to schools anywhere in the world using a common set of data, is critical" said Dr. Keith Westman, COO of Otus.

"We have several school systems representing some of the largest and smallest districts in the country who were given early access to our analytics tools," said Christopher Hull, Chief Product Officer and Co-Founder. "The conversations that are happening in districts as a result of what the data is showing have been powerful. Teachers are seeing the results of their work in entirely new ways which have led to better conversations about student learning."

With this product release, current and future Otus clients have access to these powerful new analytics tools that shine a light, creating a clear path forward to maximize student learning.

Multi-Hall of Fame Doo-Wop Legend Kenny Vance and The Planotones Releases New CD, ‘For Your Love’

Multi-Hall of Fame doo-wop sensation Kenny Vance and The Planotones is thrilled to announce they have released their new album, "For Your Love."

"This is an album that celebrates authenticity, and people who hear our music know it's the real thing, and will bring a smile to their face and bring back feelings they love to remember," said Vance, currently on a 12-city U.S. tour.

During his phenomenal career, Vance co-founded Jay and the Americans. The immensely popular group opened for The Beatles' and The Rolling Stones' first U.S. performances in 1964.

On the new album, Kenny and his son Ladd, the newest member of the group, recorded a duet titled "Devoted to You." "It's rare for a father and son to be able to record together these days, but this song that I knew in my youth expresses a sentiment that I knew we could both connect to immediately – a very special experience for both of us to share," said Vance. The song caps off a heartfelt album even those new to doo-wop will appreciate. Read latest news here.

"In 'Tear Drops,' our recording honors the original recording by Lee Andrews & the Hearts, which includes a sample of his actual record (courtesy UMG) within ours," said Vance. "For those not familiar with Lee Andrews & the Hearts, Andrews was the father of Questlove, who is the music director/band leader on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.' We took care to do the song in the same key and tempo as the original, so the sample would fit seamlessly. Through this recording, we pay homage to one of our all-time idols."

The new album includes "Love Me," a song Vance especially enjoyed recording. "One night while surfing the web, I discovered an original song that a Tex-Mex group had recorded in the late '50s," said Vance. "It attracted me immediately; because of its simplicity and its raw emotion."

The list of songs on the new CD includes classics "Sea Cruise," "Daddy's Home" and "Love Letters."

The new CD can be downloaded from iTunes, Google Play Music, and other top music providers. The 13-song album is the distinguished group's eighth since its inception in 1992. Be alert to the latest news.

The Planotones were a fictional musical group Vance created for the film "American Hot Wax," for which he produced the soundtrack in 1977. Later, Vance led the group in its leap from the screen to reality to its incarnation as the Planotones of today. Vance's signature song, "Looking for an Echo," has garnered millions of YouTube hits.

Today, the six-person group includes founder and lead singer Kenny Vance, and two-time Grammy-nominated Music Director Johnny Gale.

In 2002, Kenny Vance was inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame, and in 2007 he was inducted into the Long Island Music Hall of Fame. In 2019, Kenny Vance and The Planotones (http://kennyvanceandtheplanotones.com) received the East Coast Music Hall of Fame award for "Best Music Maker" in the "Vocal Group" category. Vance is also a multi-platinum-selling record producer, with the soundtracks of movies "Animal House" and "Eddie & the Cruisers."
