Ed Tech Leader Puts Spotlight on Educators and School Leaders
Across the Country
The nation’s four million teachers inspire students to make the
impossible, possible. To honor their extraordinary contributions—to
students and the country—K12, a Stride Inc. company, (NYSE: LRN)
announced a unique “Be Kind 365” campaign that highlights
special acts of kindness toward teachers.
Beginning this month and continuing throughout the year, K12 is
expanding its efforts to champion teacher-centered accomplishments,
initiatives, and programs nationwide. The company is launching
Thank My Teacher, a new tool that allows families across the
country to send messages of appreciation to their favorite
educators. And through a new social media campaign, students and
families are sharing posts and experiences that highlight the
special and unique ways they show appreciation and kindness to
their teachers.
K12’s new Teacher Appreciation Week campaign comes at a time
when 44 percent of new teachers leave the profession within five
years. Beginning teachers with little to no preparation are more
than twice as likely to leave the classroom after one year compared
to their better prepared counterparts.
That’s why this week, K12 is also launching a new “Teachers
Win” initiative that supports new teachers. As part of this
initiative, every 2023 teaching graduate in the U.S. is eligible to
receive a one-year paid subscription to the Stride Professional
Development Center: an ever-expanding library of interactive,
mobile-friendly courses designed by educators, for educators.
“Our goal is to help new teachers get off to a strong start to
their careers,” said Darren Reed, head of Stride’s Professional
Development Center. “We want every teacher to feel confident in
their ability to achieve early success in the classroom.”
Additionally, eligible teachers at every experience level can
receive six months’ free access to Stride’s Professional
Development Center through the company’s Learning Solutions
Division. Learning Solutions is also launching a new video
series featuring the stories of teachers who are making a
difference in their communities.
This company-wide Teacher Appreciation Week effort is a
launching pad to shine a light on who teachers are, their core
values as educators, their resilience and dedication, and their
critical role in shaping the people that students become. As part
of their personalized and holistic approach to education, Stride’s
K12-powered schools provide students with access to a rich
curriculum taught by state-credentialed teachers who are specially
trained in online instruction.
Throughout the year, K12’s new Be Kind 365 campaign will promote
different ways to show kindness and outline strategies for
fostering positive mental health and wellness.
