Edthena, Digital Promise Combine 'Science of Reading' Resources for Teachers

To better equip educators with the skills to practice Science of Reading instruction, Edthena is collaborating with nonprofit Digital Promise.

Specifically, educators who go through Edthena's AI-guided Science of Reading training modules will be given access to resources in Digital Promise's Learner Variability Project (LVP).

Edthena's Science of Reading pathway, which is available for both early-elementary and late-elementary levels, is included with a subscription to Edthena's AI Coach, a teacher self-assessment platform. AI Coach uses conversational artificial intelligence to support teachers as they work through training cycles, the company explained.

The Science of Reading pathway is a self-paced online training regimen designed to "help teachers consistently apply and enhance literacy instruction," according to the program website. It's meant to familiarize teachers on the principles of Science of Reading, and provide best practices for applying those principles in their classrooms, all at their own convenience. Content-specific supports are available on topics such as phonological awareness, sentence structure, verbal reasoning, and more.

As part of the partnership's terms, teachers who progress through the pathway will be offered access to "hundreds" of research materials from the LVP.

"Our partnership with Digital Promise ensures teachers' learning experiences within Al Coach are grounded in research on how to help students become fluent readers and reach their full potential as learners," said Edthena CEO Adam Geller in a prepared statement.

More information on the partnership is available here.
