Bloomington, Minn. (Aug. 27, 2020) – Renaissance, a global leader in pre-K–12 education technology, today announced major Back-to-School product updates and curated resources, ranging from the first authentic Spanish learning progressions available in the market to Star CBM, a new option for Curriculum-Based Measurement.
Renaissance’s product updates and resources for Back-to-School are designed to ensure continuous learning and meet students where they are. With schools and districts across the nation rolling out different in-person, remote, or hybrid Back-to-School strategies, the new enhancements and tools will help bridge the gap between educators, students, and families.
“Whether students are starting the fall semester at home, in the classroom, or a mix of both, we believe all students deserve to grow to their full potential, despite the disrupted school year,” said Todd Brekhus, Chief Product Officer at Renaissance. “While things are going to be a bit different this fall, we’re dedicated to ensuring continuous learning—at home or in the classroom.”
Below are just a few of the highlights:
Ensuring each student gets the right practice and instruction at the right time will be both vital and challenging this fall. Additional product updates to Accelerated Reader, myON, and Freckle Math will help to ensure continuous learning:
With students missing instructional time and many schools and districts lacking assessment data from last spring, Back-to-School is going to be a crucial time for educators and their students to reconnect.
Knowing this, Renaissance is also encouraging educators to explore Focus Skills this fall. A dedicated website lets users browse the reading and math Focus Skills for each state and grade, across K–12.
