Hi there, we're Merge. Nice to meet you!
Why We Created the Software
Have you been searching for an easy-to-use, affordable, after-school management and assessment tool? So did we -- for 20 years! We served over 2,500 challenged youth and adults but we couldn't find an easy-to-use software that managed our program and assessed meaningful outcomes ... so we created one.
Working with other educators and professionals we developed an after-school evaluation software that would work in all types of programs. We founded Merge Education in 2008 to disseminate the Student Evaluation Software and Bill Rossi's Creative Teaching Approach.
The People Behind Merge
We say this on the Software Page, but it's worth repeating: We know smaller community programs can struggle hard for funding if they don't have the tools they need to evaluate and prove their success to funders. That's why SETS was developed.
