Renaissance has products that aim to help educators find holes and gaps in student learning and to help monitor progress so teachers can provide feedback and interventions that match the skill deficits. I enjoy using the AR piece to have reading accountability without taking up to much classroom time and prep.

Excellent product

My students absolutely love Accelerated Math. I have been using the program for 8 years and have a lot of success with it. We have had excellent student growth and create exciting ways for students to become successful.

I have been using Renaissance for a couple of years as a middle school math teacher, and the information that I am able to attain from star math to help guide learning for my students to fill in their gaps and holes in their learning has been very helpful!
The people that I have worked with via Renaissance has been great!

I love Renaissance

I love Renaissance! My students use it to take AR tests and Star Tests. I use it to review their data. Renaissance Royals is also a nice addition to the Renaissance Family especially since they give gifts for completing assigned tasks related to Renaissance and professional development.

Star Reports Rock

Wisconsin kindergarten children must complete a standardized test by state law. A few years ago, I was able to pilot STar Early Literacy to show how helpful reports were to individualize instruction. The district moved to adopt Star Early Lit instead of the former mandated PALS test. With STAR I am able to know the exact skills my students are ready to work on, what they have achieved and the skills they are not ready to learn. In the last few years, I have been better able to know what reading skills to focus on. My students have reached more benchmarks by the end of the year since using STAR!

Renaissance is more than just Accelerated Reader

Renaissance is known for the Accelerated Reader and Star Assessments, but they are adding more resources for educators that you may not know about. MyOn and Freckle are two major products that have been added to the Renaissance family of products.
If used correctly and often, Renaissance products will increase students' knowledge and achievement.

Love Renaissance Products

I love these products and how useful they are in the classroom. They give data feedback in a way that is easy to understand and work with. My students can easily use the products without me having to walk them through the program step by step every time. The customer service is great and taking advantage of their Rewards program and system with Royals has given me more insight than I could have ever imagined.

Star Math

Star Math has been beneficial in helping me to understand where my students need support and where they are meeting and exceeding standards. The data is easy to read and meaningful. I find Star Math to be essential in the data analysis of my students’ progress.
