We hope your 2024-2025 school year is off to a fantastic start! It’s been a busy and exciting time at Exploros, with many developments as we prepare for the new school year. We onboarded thousands of teachers this month, with active users in more than 4,000 schools across the U.S.

Our August Professional Learning Calendars were fully booked, and live chat has been incredibly active! We are working on our HQIM Social Studies initiative, helping users with rostering and onboarding, planning free webinars, and pre-testing students in Texas for the Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA) initiative. We have lots of exciting news to share!

August Highlights

August was a whirlwind month as we supported thousands of educators through our live chat, professional learning sessions, and ongoing assistance. These efforts ensured that teachers were equipped with the knowledge and tools needed to effectively implement Exploros in their classrooms. Our sessions provided hands-on experience and best practices, allowing educators to feel confident in engaging their students with our interactive platform. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, and we’re excited to see how these teachers will continue to utilize Exploros to enhance instruction across the country.

We’re also proud to announce that Exploros Social Studies is actively participating in a working group on HQIM alongside publishers from across the United States.
