Britannica Education has introduced a powerful new learning platform that combines innovative instructional design with trusted, high-quality content to produce rewarding learning experiences and superior reading instruction for students and helpful time-saving features and needed support for teachers.
Expedition: Learn provides hundreds of ready-to-use science and social studies lessons aligned to the Science of Reading framework for grades 3 to 8. It aims to promote subject knowledge, literacy and critical thinking in an environment that moves students smoothly from stimulating their curiosity about a subject to satisfying that curiosity deeply and thoroughly. It promotes understanding with engaging social studies and science lessons that are aligned to the Science of Reading (SoR) framework.
"Reading is the cornerstone of education, and teachers are deeply committed to helping every student succeed," said Joan Jacobsen, vice president, product development and strategy, with Britannica Education. "Expedition: Learn helps build vocabulary, language, verbal reasoning, literacy knowledge and reading comprehension."
Each digital lesson offers a four-stage guided path toward discovery and understanding.
In addition, teacher toolkits provide the needed support for educators to help address learning gaps that are identified by the built-in assessments.
"Students learn at different rates and in many different ways. We understand this, and we've created a classroom solution that supports learners at all levels," said Jacobsen.
