From editorial, design, production and digital technology, you can count on us to be on time and on budget while maintaining the highest level of quality.
SPi Global now offers full-service Spanish content development and translations, as well as a range of Spanish-language services: leveling, digital, consultancy, etc. Our bilingual/bicultural editors, copyeditors, writers, fact-checkers, and translators are native Spanish speakers. Their content expertise and publishing experience are crucial for developing quality materials that accurately reflect the English source materials, yet maintain the integrity of the Spanish.
Concept Development
Our team of seasoned educators, writers, and editors have the vision and expertise to grow an initial concept int a full-fledged program. We develop and refine prototypes collaboratively with our clients, incorporating their needs and offering innovative ideas and solutions. We begin with a solid pedagogical foundation and follow through with content expertise, dynamic design, and forward-thinking marketability.
Scope and Sequence Development
Planning the appropriate depth and breadth of a program is vital. Our well-versed project managers, editors, and content experts provide the insight and real-world experience necessary to plan a practical, yet powerful scope and sequence. We ensure that all content, concepts, and standards are thoroughly and effectively covered.
Content Creation/Editing
Whether it’s reading/language arts, math, social studies, science, adult education, or assessment of any kind, we deliver quality content creation to every client and are experienced with all grade levels. From prototyping to guidelines to writing/editing/copyediting manuscript and page layouts, our team has the experience and dedication to cover the entire editorial workflow.
Fact Checking and Research
Since many projects require some kind of research and fact checking/source listing, we have honed our research skills. We meticulously research every fact, supplying solid, reliable, trustworthy sources.
Correlations
Correlations are no longer a “best fit” proposition. Curricula must directly and clearly meet a host of state and national standards. Therefore, we provide complete and thorough correlations to all state and national standards, including the Common Core. We not only evaluate whether a curriculum meets all appropriate standards, but we also provide solutions for how the curriculum can be changed to best meet those standards.
State Customization and Alignment
After performing a thorough correlation of a product against targeted state standards, we then customize that product to align to those standards. We customize all products, from student and teacher materials of entire basal programs to assessments and ancillary products. Our vast experience allows us to perform this service in the most time- and cost-efficient manner possible.
Permission Clearance
Navigating the complex rules governing image assets rights requires deep knowledge of multiple image sources, from major stock agencies to small academic institutions. Our experienced and meticulous image managers know what to do to ensure that sources are properly credited and that permissions are fully cleared.
Creative Services
Our creative team understands the crucial role that design plays in program marketability. Design conceptualization begins with a clear understanding of the client’s pedagogic and marketing goals. Market research, competitive analyses, and knowledge of the issues relevant to the particular discipline help inform the design process. As a full-service provider, our creative staff works side by side with editorial and composition, enabling us to work efficiently while ensuring that the client’s vision is realized.
