Prestigious International Awards Program Recognizes Outstanding Educational Technology Products and Companies
LOS ANGELES, June 8, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- EdTech Breakthrough, a leading market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies and solutions in the global educational technology market, today announced that Stride, Inc. (NYSE: LRN), one of the nation's leading technology-based education companies, has been selected as winner of the "Online Education Solution Provider of the Year" award in the 5th annual EdTech Breakthrough Awards program. In 2022, Stride was selected as "Courseware Solution Provider of the Year" by EdTech Breakthrough.
Stride's elementary curricula is student-centric and supports the depth of knowledge required by today's academic standards. For the youngest learners, Stride enables content delivery that is completely audio-based and highly interactive. Students can navigate activities across content areas independently. Teachers and families also have choices in how content is delivered.
In addition, elementary students are able to watch and listen to adults reading books aloud to them with many of the books coming from Stride's leveled digital library. Stride has also created material-free versions of many courses to let students move smoothly from school- to home-based learning.
On the platform, students can customize their avatars and background environments and select varying Brain Break activities during every ELA and math lesson. Furthermore, its gamification motivates and encourages students to master academic content ranging from vocabulary to math facts.
The adaptive technology in the Stride Skills Arcade guides each student to practice where most needed. It provides grade-appropriate content aligned to Common Core and individual state standards in the form of questions, video lessons, and printable resources. Importantly, the Skills Arcade's assessments identify how students are performing on specific standards throughout the year and help identify critical gaps in knowledge.
"For more than 20 years, Stride has been an online education platform and curriculum provider. We're thrilled to recognize them with another richly deserved EdTech Breakthrough award. Their incredible solutions help learners of all ages reach their full potential through inspired teaching and personalized learning," said James Johnson, managing director, EdTech Breakthrough.
