Our annual survey gives teachers the opportunity to share what worked best in their classrooms. We use this feedback to continuously improve the platform.
Insights gathered directly from science educators across the country.
"The videos provide excellent reinforcement for our visual learners and the interactive activities allow them to explore the concepts further. "
"The videos were very detailed and aligned with our TEKS. Promotes higher level thinking. "
"My students love the platform and find it engaging, so they are excited to use it. Not only are they loving science, they are also doing well on district assessments. "
"Explained the concept very well, with great visuals for them to see and understand with life experiences that they can relate to. "
"I would be remiss if I did not take the time to thank you for the opportunity of using Edusmart in my classroom. I have an average of 85% proficiency on the Biology EOC and 90% of the NGSS FCAT 2.0. "
"The lessons and assignments are structured and organized in a manner that facilitates student learning and effectively builds upon natural curiosity of young learners. It has led to a great deal of learning both within the specific curriculum and outside of it (students researching more outside of class after learning about something during class). "
"For the past 4 years using EduSmart has been beneficial in engagement and teacher prep for lessons. I would recommend it for any elementary ages. I have used it in 1-3 grades. It hits all 5 pieces of the 5 E model."
"As the year wraps up, I have loved using this science program, EduSmart. It was the first program I had when I first started at Itasca Elementary 14 years ago & has proven itself tried and true! I love to use the videos as intro to the topic and the students love all the activities they get to do on the platform. 🧪 🧫 🧬 If anyone were to ask “is this a good program?” I would say, “YES! I highly recommend it for elementary science classes!” #iteachsciencefuturescientists 👩🏽🔬#makinglearningfun 👩🏽🏫"
"I have been teaching at GCCISD for 4 years and have been using EduSmart for the last 3 years and absolutely love it!!! It is very educational and engaging! My students love it. As a teacher, it makes our job so much easier. It is easy to do interactive activities with the students."
"We are a small school, so I teach all sections of both 6th and 7th grade science. Two years ago my 6th graders showed 72% growth on their MAPS test in science. We didn't have EduSmart at that time. The following year I taught these same kids 7th grade science. However, that year I added EduSmart to my curriculum. This was the only change that I made in how I taught this crew of kids. At the end of their 7th grade year, after using EduSmart as a supplemental resource, 89% of my students showed growth on science MAPS! We are comparing apples to apples here ... same teacher, same kids .... 17% increase thanks to EduSmart!"
