WISCONSIN RAPIDS, Wis. (May 19, 2020) — Renaissance, a global leader in pre-K–12 education technology, today announced the release of its list of curated summer resources to help school leaders and educators ensure continuous learning during the summer months. The offerings range from customizable toolkits to on-demand webinars to virtual professional development options.
To help navigate remote learning together, several Renaissance programs can be used at home over the summer months:
- Accelerated Reader provides more than 200,000 quiz titles to choose from, so students can continue to grow as lifelong readers throughout the summer.
- Freckle Premium helps students build their math, ELA, social studies, and science skills through engaging practice and activities.
- myON provides students 24/7 access to thousands of digital books and age-appropriate news articles.
Educators can gain insight into their students’ reading and math progress virtually through reports and unlimited access to supplementary assignments. To further support district leaders and educators who are grappling with student learning loss, Renaissance is offering on-demand webinars that detail best practices for each program and tips for this summer.
“As districts across the country forge ahead with a remote learning model that may well extend to the 2020–2021 academic year, we’re putting our programs and expertise at their disposal,” said Todd Brekhus, the chief product officer at Renaissance. “In these uncertain times, we’re dedicated to moving education forward by strengthening the access to quality, learning tools and the connection between schools, parents, guardians, and students.”
In addition, Renaissance has resources available to help school leaders and educators navigate the CARES Act, a financial aid grant, and other COVID-19 funding opportunities, along with government and nonprofit funding sources to ensure students are set up for success this summer.
