District administrators use the Renaissance Next for Teachers setting in Product Administration to determine when teachers will see Renaissance Next for Teachers as their Home page.
Renaissance Next for Teachers helps teachers quickly see their students' recent work and to see which students need a helping hand, are working at an appropriate level, or are ready for more. It also helps you find practice activities and lessons that you can assign to students, either to reinforce what you are teaching next or to help students work on areas where they need more help. For more information, see Renaissance Next for Teachers and the Summary View.
Renaissance Next for Teachers was released to all schools July 1, 2024. After that date, by default, teachers who meet these criteria go to Renaissance Next for Teachers instead of the previous Home page when they log in:
- Two or more of these products are assigned to the teacher's classes: Star, Freckle, Accelerated Reader, myON, and Lalilo. Any of the following products count as Star, but note that no matter how many Star products you have, you still need at least one other product to see Renaissance Next: Star Reading, Star Math, Star Early Literacy, Star Reading Spanish, Star Math Spanish, Star CBM, or Star CBM Lectura.
- The teacher has a verified email address entered.
- The teacher's classes were created in or imported into Renaissance, not shared from myON or Freckle.
Teachers who don't meet those criteria will continue to see the previous Home page.
If you prefer that Renaissance Next for Teachers be introduced to your teachers at a later date, you can use the Renaissance Next for Teachers setting to choose a different date between July 1, 2024 and January 1, 2025.
