School Trial Agreement Terms*

Reading Plus program trial applicants agree to the following terms and conditions on behalf of their school (or educational organisation):

Setup Timeline:
• Once your trial has been approved the contact person will be emailed a request for their trial student and staff lists (usually within 5 working days of trial application).
• Staff should identify trial students asap and timetable sufficient program access for each student
• ITECNZ will then create and email program logins for both staff and students.

Student Usage:
• There is no limit to the number of students who can use the program during the pilot period.  (ITECNZ recommend using with at least one whole class to see class wide data for a range of students.)
• A minimum of 10 students must use the program at least 3 times each weekly for the entire pilot period.
• Students can use the program at school/home, on computer, Android tablet, Chromebook or iPad.
• Research shows on average students need to use the program at least 3 times per week.

Staff Usage and Training:
• There is no limit to the number of staff who can be set up with program logins for access to their class usage data.
• Training for all staff is important – you will also have access to a printed training manual, in program help, guides and training videos, website guides and videos.
• Teacher input involves watching some initial training videos, and checking student reports online once per week.
• One school staff member shall be nominated to oversee the trial and communicate with ITECNZ.
• The contact staff member must take part in 2 half hour online training sessions during the trial period.
• The contact staff member will complete a short feedback survey at the end of the trial.

Trial Term and Fee:
• Trials are free for one whole school term (where applied for in sufficient time).
• At the end of the trial, access to the program will be closed.  Data is saved and reinstated if purchase follows – so you just carry on where you left off.
• Trial extensions may incur a $250 fee so please request your trial for a time when your students will be available to use the program regularly, and contact us when you need help.
• There is no automatic right of trial term extension for lack of use during the trial term set.

Trial Tips:
• Start program usage as soon as you have received your login – you don’t need to wait till the start of the trial term!
• Regular usage, monitoring student data, and providing support as indicated by the program, are key to student success.
• We recommend pre and post-trial testing of students for your own independent review of program success. 

Installation and Support:
• Staff and student program access is by direct web link – no installation is required.
• ITECNZ shall have a full administration access login to your program account and usage data for the purposes of supporting your trial, teacher training, and end of trial reporting.  If a decision is made to purchase the program you can elect to delete our access to your account if you prefer to.
