Imagine Learning, leading developer of award-winning digital language, literacy, and math curricula, today announced the winners of its 2017-2018 Imagine Nation Awards in which select schools from across the country were honored for their exceptional use of Imagine Learning programs.
Nearly 22,000 schools across the US currently use Imagine Learning’s evidence-based educational software products, which include Imagine Language & Literacy, Imagine Math, Imagine Math Facts, and Imagine Español. Schools that use all four Imagine Learning products may be considered for the Imagine Nation School of Excellence and/or the Imagine Nation Beacon School award.
Imagine Learning uses the most stringent usage and implementation criteria to designate top schools for Imagine Nation awards. To be considered a School of Excellence, schools must demonstrate outstanding usage and implementation of an Imagine Learning program during the school year. This year, ninety schools were awarded the title of Imagine Nation School of Excellence.
Additionally, Imagine Learning representatives may nominate other exemplary schools for the Beacon School award after considering factors such as usage, implementation, innovation, and effective partnerships. For the 2017-2018 school year, 243 Beacon Schools were chosen.
“Each year, we honor dedicated educators from across the country who are implementing Imagine Learning programs in impactful and innovative ways,” said Joe Swenson, CEO of Imagine Learning. “These exemplary schools help their students gain confidence while making incredible progress in language, literacy, and math. We’re proud to partner with these outstanding schools and educators and to honor their efforts. Congratulations to all our Imagine Nation winners.”
Following official notification of their Imagine Nation awards, each winning school will receive personalized banners that honor their achievements.
Congratulations, Imagine Nation Winners
