Saba Partners with TeachScape

May 25, 2012 – Saba, a provider of human capital management (HCM) solutions, and Teachscape, a leader in delivering Web-based professional learning content, innovative technologies, and expert services, have formed an alliance to offer joint customers a competency-based integrated talent management platform, designed to support the development of effective teaching practice throughout the career lifecycle of educators.Through this alliance, Teachscape has combined its online observer training and assessment system, tools for conducting in-classroom and video-based observations, and online professional development content with Saba's solutions, including learning and talent management, as well as enterprise social networking. “There is a tremendous need for school districts to manage the lifecycle of their educational workforces as school districts often employ more people than large corporations,” said Jeff Carr, president of global field operations at Saba. “The goal of this partnership is to assist our joint and prospective customers in managing and developing their educators, enhancing the effectiveness of schools and districts, and increasing student achievement in a continuous learning environment.”
