Hello Michael!
Happy New Year from NROC!
Dear Partners,
As we usher in the new year, we want to express our deepest gratitude for your unwavering support and collaboration throughout 2024. Your dedication has been instrumental in advancing our shared mission to help students achieve success, no matter where they are. In 2024, EdReady was used in all 50 states and around the world, with millions of students logging countless hours on our platform. This activity contributed to our mission of expanding EdReady to as many students as possible.
Reflecting on our partners’ achievements with EdReady, we are inspired by the positive impact we’ve made together. Looking ahead to 2025, we are excited to build upon this foundation and explore new avenues for growth:
Supporting Diverse Use Cases: We plan to continue to focus our efforts to help our partners offer EdReady in a variety of educational pathways, including EdReady as a low-stakes placement alternative, dual enrollment and early college preparation, career and technical education, corrections, and adult education. Together we can ensure that diverse learner populations have access to the tools they need to achieve success.
Comprehensive Content Coverage: We are committed to continually updating and expanding our content to meet the evolving needs of learners, ensuring they are well-prepared for their academic and professional journeys.
Enhanced Student Monitoring and Reporting: EdReady will be able to better monitor student activity and intervene when students are not demonstrating behavior indicative of learning. These interventions can alert the instructors responsible for the students’ success to ensure timely interventions.
Your partnership is the cornerstone of our success, and we are excited to continue this journey with you. If there are new ways you’d like to collaborate, whether it be presenting on your EdReady implementation, or expanding to a new use case, our team is always ready to assist! Together, we will strive to meet students where they are and prepare them for what’s next.
Wishing you all a wonderful 2025!
Warm regards,
The NROC Team
