Correlations Count! Films Media Group Hires EdGate to Correlate Its Product Line to Educational Standards

Lawrenceville, NJ (November 9, 2004) — Films Media Group (FMG), a PRIMEDIA company and the leading source of educational media products in North America, recently initiated a business relationship with EdGate, a well-known provider of technology-based products and services to the K-to-12 community. This relationship will provide FMG with state educational correlations for all currently uncorrelated products in its partially correlated collection of videos, CD-ROMs, posters, and other items.

Through an exclusive relationship with Dr. Willard Daggett and the International Center for Leadership in Education, EdGate itemizes each state’s standards and ranks them according to which are the most likely to be tested on high stakes state exams. This information is then stored in EdGate’s Curriculum Matrix, where it is available to subscribing educators to assist them with any decision involving state standards, including the purchase of ancillary educational materials.

At the request of Films Media Group, EdGate has begun the process of correlating the FMG collection so that all of its products will be certified state-standard compliant. This move is directly in keeping with FMG’s commitment to identify and fulfill its customers’ needs.

For more information on FMG’s correlation project, contact Films Media Group at 800-257-5126.
