“Newsela is a big hit and now it is a necessity. We really appreciate your support.”

Deb
Assistant Director of Instructional Technology

“Thank you so much for your support to our entire school community. It is very much appreciated. We look forward to working with these components of Newsela.”

"[In Middletown] we are student-centered, not teacher-centered. The teacher should not just be chalking and talking...it should be the students engaging, learning, problem solving, and working as a team."

Michelle Hearn
Middletown City School District

"[Scholars] want to be entrepreneurship-ready...Providing our students with a passport to tomorrow. A passport that really prepares them for a future yet to be envisioned...the future that THEY see. Thinking about them as global citizens, each being unique individuals, creative inventors, and business owners"

Rhonda Taylor
Uniondale School District

"When I think of e-sports or video games, I think of what is it about those that make it so attractive to students that we are not doing instructionally? It could still be a human offering challenge, which is what video games are, incremental challenge...all students can find success at their level. What I like about Newsela is offering a breadth of articles for kids to think about and offer problem solving too."

Dr. Mark Linton
Arkport Central School District

"The PD that you provide for teachers in how they incorporate reading skills in their science classrooms...writing across content areas...that is challenging. It can be scary for teachers to admit that they don't know how to do it. We talk about how [Newsela] works within our curriculum, whatever unit I'm teaching, whatever the essential questions are."

Rebeccar Gleason
Schenectady City School District
