Final Recommendation

Quotes: Teacher: “Ultimately I chose [Edgenuity] because 1) everything needed is 100% online (we need no supplemental materials), 2) the support for SPED/EL is outstanding - the guided notes that can be printed are a major plus for the population I serve, 3) students overwhelming preferred this platform. If our goal is to always put STUDENTS first, this is a clear winner.” Student: “I appreciate the progress bar, which would be helpful to parents checking in

• n their child’s progress, as well as the chronologically ordered lessons and the

estimated completion time. I also liked the videos where a teacher was next to the passage/ video, making it feel like I was back in a classroom”
