The executive team and employees of TRI have extensive backgrounds in education and the educational technology field. Jointly, we have an excellent record of success in the educational software and hardware business as two of our prior educational software products have been installed in more than 1600 schools nationwide since 1994. The remarkable aspect of this is that more than 99% who purchased these products on a yearly basis have continued to renew their license due to their student’s success and not a single client has been lost due to dissatisfaction.

Our management team consists of the following individuals:

Richard G. Hetherington, President

Mr. Hetherington, the founder of TRI, possesses a B.S. Degree in Education with a major in Biology and a minor in Chemistry. He began his career as a public school teacher teaching General Science at the middle school level. He left the teaching profession to pursue a career in the business world and gained extensive experience in the educational technology field when he joined IBM’s Education Division in 1982. Over the past 27 years, he has personally designed, developed, and marketed a number of successful technology based products for the educational field and industry. For example, he conceptualized and led the development of one of the first integrated administrative systems for the Montgomery County, Maryland Public Schools. In 1987, he created an on-line intelligent authoring system that enable courseware developers to design voice activated training systems for the K-12 marketplace.

In 1991, his company contracted with the Department of Defense’s Foreign Language Laboratory under a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA). Their task was to automate the foreign language laboratories instructional method of teaching survival language skills to Department of Defense employees who were temporarily assigned overseas. During this period, His development team designed and developed computer based independent study versions of Spanish, French, Russian, and Arabic language courses that enabled employees to achieve a “survival” level of competency in

as little as 50 hours of independent study. This fact was verified by George Mason University’s Language department whose evaluators concluded that students who worked independently in the language for a 50 hour period showed a level of proficiency equal to a student who spent an entire year in a traditional language course.

As Mr. Hetherington’s company gained the commercial rights to these products, he sold licenses to hundreds of school systems nationwide for use in their language programs. After three years of successfully selling these products, he sold the rights to these products to Broderbund Software, a major software distribution company.

In 1996, Mr. Hetherington created Educational Options, Inc. a firm dedicated to the delivery of high school academic instruction to at-risk students. This product, which he personally designed and developed, offered unique and innovative methods to ensure the success of students who had failed in traditional schools. This product was hugely successful in that more than 1400 schools are currently using the system and less than 10 have failed to renew their license over the past 12 years. In 2007, he created Teacher Resources, Inc. for the specific purpose of developing a new type of Instructional Management System for use by classroom teachers. This product, STATIS© is now commercially available.

B. Ruth Moore, Vice President, Education

Ms. Moore was a middle school teacher in Prince Georges County, Maryland for 31 years and has been an officer and shareholder in our companies since 1997. Ms. Moore brought a wealth of instructional and content experience to her position as our Manager of Content Development. She was also the designer of an innovative instructional strategy that is still employed by the more than 1400 schools who are still using the independent study system that we introduced in 1997. In fact, during the 2008-2009 school year, more than 475,000 students used this product to achieve high school credits for graduation purposes. As an experienced classroom teacher, Ms. Moore played a key role in the design and development of the STATIS(c) system and the development of our middle and high school lesson plans for Reading/Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies for middle school.

Ms. Moore also served as a curriculum specialist and consultant to the American Automobile Association’s Traffic Safety Department. Over a five year period, she designed a substantial part of the safety curriculum that was delivered to thousands of elementary schools nationwide.
