Renaissance Next for Teachers
- On July 1, Renaissance Next for Teachers will become the new Home page for all teachers with at least two eligible products. (Administrators can choose a different release date for their site using the Renaissance Next setting in the Product Administration settings). Renaissance Next goes beyond a simple Home page for Renaissance software - it helps teachers quickly see their students' recent work, what students need, and where to go next. It includes three views:
- Summary view - shows you which students need help, which are working at an appropriate level, and which are ready for more based on student work in the last two weeks. You can also find lessons and activities and see recommendations based on skills.
- Skills view - shows you the skills students have been working on and which students are starting the skills, stuck, practicing, or ready for a challenge. You can also search for lessons and activities or see those recommended for a specific skill and student.
- Superstars of the Week view - allows you to recognize students every week until each student in your class has been recognized.
Every Renaissance Next page also gives you quick access to your apps and reports.
For those already using Renaissance Next for Teachers, these features have been added:
- Renaissance Next is becoming the Home page for teachers using at least two eligible products.
- The new Superstars of the Week view is available.
- Lalilo lessons can now be found using the “What are you working on next?” search field at the top of the page.
Renaissance Analytics
- Renaissance Analytics now includes a new Home page dashboard with an overview of your data and tips for getting the most out of your products.. Administrators can choose to make this new page their overall Home page instead of the traditional tile view of the Educator Portal.
- All Renaissance Analytics pages now have links to your Renaissance apps and reports, either from a navigation bar on the left or via the apps icon in the header.
