Evans Newton Incorporated (ENI) celebrates its 40th anniversary this month. ENI is a company of people committed to promoting student success, increasing teacher effectiveness, enhancing administrator leadership skills, and promoting parental involvement.
Jamie Piotti, ENIs Owner, CEO, and President, is proud of ENIs legacy and the realization of her goals to give every student a chance for the best educational experience possible. Piottis passion is for ENI to transform and improve schools and to always be the trusted educational partner of choice in public and private K12 schoolslarge and small, urban, suburban, and rural. Piotti believes in running ENI in a morally and ethically sound way and in giving back to make a difference in the world. She has written about this in her soon-to be-published book, Soulful . . . How to Build a Successful Company, Help Others and Live a Life with Purpose.
In 1973 Piottis father, Lloyd Ferguson, a former schoolteacher and principal, was a true entrepreneur and wanted to integrate technology into the classroom. Evans Newton Incorporated was born and grew into a company that specialized in education software. According to the editors of Technology and Learning magazine, ENIs student mastery software, Project Basic, was the second computer and software solution to be installed in a school that operated on the Apple II computer, a groundbreaking achievement.
Twenty five years ago, Jamie Piotti assumed leadership of and soon after purchased ENI. Under Piottis guidance, ENI has developed and expanded its products and services to fulfill the needs of the ever-evolving school achievement and educator effectiveness requirements, focusing on school transformation and sustainable school improvement. ENI is one of the largest female-owned companies in Arizona (ranked 16th in Phoenix Business Journal 2011 and 25th in 2012). We understand education, Piotti said. ENI is a company of educators known for rolling up our sleeves, working in the trenches, and showing up where others wont.
Piotti believes in sharing ENIs success and paying it forward. After Hurricane Katrina, Piotti knew that the educational system in New Orleans had been shattered. Lake Forest Charter School was one of the first schools to reopen. Without hesitation, Piotti made sure these teachers and children had learning materials and resources at their fingertips so they could resume their educational endeavors and gain some sense of normalcy amongst such devastation. ENI has also worked with charitable organizations such as The American Red Cross, St. Marys Food Bank, St. Vincent DePaul, UMOM, and The United Way to help families and children in need across the United States. Through Piottis nonprofit organization, Foundation for Educational Opportunity, ENI has funded over $ 85K in college scholarships to deserving students so they can achieve their potential by getting a college education.
In the early 1980s, ENIs mission branched from software only to services. The company also successfully adapted and applied its renowned deep curriculum alignment approach that is used to this day. ENIs professionals have written over 70,000 assessment items and aligned over 1,000 textbooks.
ENI also branded the TargetTeach
