LightSail Literacy Platform Adds Integration with Clever SIS

LightSail Education has partnered with Clever on a deal to integrate data from the latter's student information system (SIS) with the LightSail literacy platform.

"The LightSail platform provides students with personalized tablet-based libraries and embeds assessments and analytics in students' texts, monitoring their Lexile measures, Common Core State Standards progress and reading habits," according to information released by the company. "For teachers, it delivers real-time data along with tools designed to support best literacy instruction practices in classrooms."

The new integration will allow a single login and will pull enrollment and demographic data to sync automatically with the literacy platform.

"The partnership with Clever supports our mission to fuel literacy growth and effective education beyond our initial stronghold in New York City to districts and classrooms nationwide," said Gideon Stein, founder & CEO of LightSail, in a prepared statement. "Every minute that we can help teachers save on administrative tasks can be translated to reading instruction and exploration time with students and that is a win for all."
