Lessons come to life for students through the power of
animation
As part of its commitment to delivering an engaging,
standards-aligned curriculum for K–12 students, Stride, Inc. (NYSE:
LRN) is now offering more content options that feature animations
with relatable characters and interactive lessons.
Through a unique partnership with Wonder Media—a mission-driven
production company that creates and produces animated stories for
children, tweens and teens—Stride has curated collections of
diverse video content and interactive lessons in its Stride
Learning Hub: a digital teaching tool that allows educators to
customize their respective courses with Stride assessments and
other learning tools.
“At Stride, we want every K12-powered student to be inspired,”
said Niyoka McCoy, Stride’s Chief Learning Officer. “Animation is a
powerful teaching tool that can make lessons come to life for our
students. Through this partnership, we're meeting students where
they are with engaging content that supports their learning
goals.”
In each Wonder Media lesson, the cast of likable characters
teach important lessons that are designed to be age appropriate,
value-driven, and positive. Students can also engage with animated
stories and interactive content related to Black History Month and
Women’s History Month, in addition to “Habits of Mind,” a mental
health and wellness resource designed specifically for K–6
students. Wonder Media also created ten animated videos exclusively
for K12-powered courses that focus on a variety of social studies
topics and historical figures.
“The Wonder Media team is proud to partner with Stride on this
inspiring collection of relatable and uplifting animated content,”
said Terry Thoren, CEO and President of Wonder Media. “Through this
partnership, students will learn social-emotional, problem solving,
and critical thinking skills with relevant stories that will
inspire them throughout their lives.”
Stride educators can select resources from the Wonder Media
collection based on each learner’s specific needs and preferences.
This includes video content and interactive lessons.
