In an age where students are overloaded with media, teachers are afraid of lawsuits over their curriculum decisions, and the slightest issue becomes easily politicized, it’s no wonder teachers are shying away from teaching the news.
2024 was all about innovation and empowering teachers with The Juice. Our mission to improve literacy and critical thinking skills inspired us to develop features that make teaching with informational texts and current events for students even more effective.
Cross-curricular learning has become an essential strategy in our educational landscape. We know students engage better with lessons if they already have some background knowledge on the subject. Interdisciplinary teaching fosters greater student engagement and improved academic performance.
The Juice is at the forefront of this movement, offering a unique blend of EdTech resources designed to make teaching informational literacy to students across subjects both accessible and engaging.
Students must constantly navigate complex social, cultural, and political landscapes in today's interconnected world. The key to evolving this skill is growing students' world awareness and helping them connect their personal experiences with the broader global community.
In today's fast-paced world, it's essential to keep students engaged with reading, even during the summer break. With The Juice's new mobile reading app, students can continue to boost their reading skills on the go with leveled news articles, staying informed about the world around them while enjoying their summer break.
Understanding student achievement data is key to fostering growth and success in the classroom. That's why we're thrilled to introduce Score Reports on The Juice — a powerful tool designed to give teachers valuable insights into their students' progress and performance.
In today's educational landscape, the integration of cross-discipline articles into daily lessons is paramount no matter what subject you teach. Whether you teach social studies, history, math, or science, it's not just about building content knowledge, education in 2024 is also about developing reading reading skills across the board. With The Juice's latest feature, educators can now navigate this terrain with precision using content tags that filter informational text articles by standards-aligned categories in Social Studies, Math, and Science.
Communication is a vital skill in today's interconnected world. Speaking multiple languages can open doors to countless opportunities for learning, growth, and connection. To English Language Learners (ELLs) in schools, mastering English while maintaining their native languages is not only a pathway to academic success, but also social and career empowerment. In fact, bilingual employees can earn between 5-20% more per hour than their monolingual peers.
Education is increasingly competitive. Standardized test scores are often used to compare quality of teaching as well as student achievement. Whether it be through AP scores, SATs, or state assessments, standardized testing can be a pivotal part of a student’s educational journey. These assessments serve as gateways to higher education, scholarships, and other potential benefits for students and schools alike.
Each student learns differently. In order to ensure children have the tools they need to succeed academically, education methods should be adjusted to meet each student's needs. Such personalized learning represents a transformative shift in education.
After decades of a one-size-fits-all model that inevitably leaves students behind, personalized learning crafts an educational experience to meet the unique needs, skills, and interests of each student. With the right tools in their arsenals, educators can shift to an approach that celebrates the individuality of learners, empowering them to achieve their full potential.
