North Billerica, MA, August 4, 2014
Curriculum Associates' i-Ready Diagnostic & Instruction was recently named a winner of eSchool News' 2014–15 Readers' Choice Awards. The awards honor the best products and services in educational technology as chosen by readers, including more than 1,300 teachers, administrators and education technology specialists from K–12 schools and districts across North America, and i-Ready was one of the 50 winners that received the most nominations for favorite edtech product or service.
When submitting nominations, educators described how they use each product to improve teaching, learning, or school administration—and to what effect. The result “is a list of edtech products and services that have proven to be effective,” said Dennis Pierce, editorial director of eSchool News. “We hope readers will find this information valuable as they consider what technologies they should use in their own schools.”
The August 2014 edition of eSchool News highlights the winning products and services and includes comments from readers about why each entry deserves the award.
“i-Ready provides educators with the most comprehensive online student and teacher-led instruction that personalizes learning and has been proven to improve student outcomes,” said Rob Waldron, CEO of Curriculum Associates. “This recognition is a great honor and particularly meaningful, because we were chosen by actual educators who use i-Ready and know firsthand the impact it has as part of the teaching and learning process.”
