Stride, Inc.’s Promising Practices was named the winner of the
People’s Choice Stevie® Award for the Professional Learning
Solution for Education category in the 21st Annual American
Business Awards®. This prestigious award recognizes the best
educational applications or services designed to support PK-12 or
postsecondary education institutions in the development of faculty
and administrative staff—including professional development
programs, learning management systems, and content development with
video-based delivery and packaging tools.
Promising Practices, initially launched in 2011, is an annual
conference organized by Stride, Inc. where Stride educators,
administrators, and industry leaders showcase best practices, share
ideas, and address the challenges and opportunities unique to
online learning. Conference popularity and attendance have risen
dramatically year-over-year for each of the past three years, with
an overall satisfaction rate of about 90%.
Conference attendees—hailing from all over the United
States—personalize their conference schedules by selecting from
curated sessions across 10 genres including effective design,
engagement practices, evidence of mastery, gamification, meaningful
empowerment, and supporting diverse learners. Top conference
sessions include "Bitmoji Classrooms for K12 Teaching,”
“Bienvenidos A Stride,” “Phonics: What’s the Big Dill?," and
“Game-Based Learning.” This infographic shares key highlights from
2023’s Promising Practices conference.
Niyoka McCoy, Stride's Chief Learning Officer, expressed her
immense pride in Promising Practices being honored with a Stevie
Award, stating, “After attending the 12th Annual Promising
Practices Conference, I am thrilled to witness firsthand the
transformative power of this exceptional event. The conference not
only celebrates innovative approaches and inspiring initiatives but
also serves to ignite creativity in all who attend. This award is a
testament to Stride's unwavering commitment to advancing education
and fostering collaboration, leaving an indelible mark on the
future of learning.”

innovative and connect with students where they are!" -Non-Stride
