Edmentum’s Love for Learning Contest: Announcing Our Winners!

We know that educators and students do amazing, innovative things in the classroom every day. Educators pour their hearts and souls into cultivating a lasting love for learning in every student, and students in turn stretch their minds and explore their passions to achieve some incredible outcomes. We wanted to give the educators and students that partner with Edmentum a chance to show off their hard work and creativity, so earlier this fall, we asked all of our customers to enter our Love for Learning contest. Now, we’re very excited to announce our winners and share their projects!

“When we’re trying to teach kids about being individuals and that they’re not the same as everyone else, putting them on programs where everybody does the same thing doesn’t really work. We have found that Exact Path and Reading Eggs and EducationCity has just taken our district to a whole new level within our special education classrooms. Some of our kiddos are able to answer more questions in their general ed classes now because we’ve built in that background knowledge that they needed so much. Our teachers are excited about the ease of reporting and pulling those small groups.

Spending time with the kids and working with the kids in those small groups is what’s the most important, so anything I can do as an instructional specialist to take the time and put it back in the teachers hands is what I want to do…I am a firm believer in the programs, I am a firm believer in the data behind it. But I’m also a firm believer in our students. When our students love a program and give me their 100% every day I couldn’t ask for anything better. So why we love learning with Edmentum, because our kids love it, and it works. It’s as simple as that.”

Congratulations to all of our winners, and a big thank you to all of our customers who took time to participate in our Love for Learning contest.
