As educators, we are constantly seeking ways to enhance our teaching methods and better understand our students. This week at the ISTELive Conference, I had the opportunity to meet Eric Swanson, Senior VP of Product Management, Practice and Instruction, and Storey Sitwala, Senior Director of Product Management at Renaissance, to learn about a brand new and groundbreaking platform that promises to transform the educational landscape: Renaissance Next.
A Unified Teacher Experience
Renaissance Next is not just another tool; it’s a comprehensive teacher experience designed to streamline your workflow and empower you with in-the-moment recommendations. This innovative platform brings together assessment, practice, and instructional data from across the Renaissance ecosystem into a single, user-friendly homepage.
Personalized Teaching at Its Best
With Renaissance Next, personalization is at the forefront. The platform provides high-quality support tools that offer actionable insights and lesson recommendations tailored to each student’s needs. This means you can make informed decisions quickly and efficiently, ensuring that every student receives the attention they deserve.
Launching in July 2024
Set to launch in July 2024 and available for the back-to-school season, Renaissance Next integrates seamlessly with established Renaissance products. It’s more than just an insight tool; it’s a partner in fostering a thriving classroom environment where learning is accelerated for all.
