SANTA BARBARA, Calif., April 24, 2024―Learning Explorer today announced that its math & ELA instructional platform, ScootPad, has joined the Marietta, Georgia-based MISBO purchasing consortium which offers numerous school-related products to independent schools across the U.S. The MISBO consortium offers favorable pricing terms and facilitates each school’s procurement process.
ScootPad supports intervention and acceleration strategies in ELA and math for grades K-8. The platform helps educators identify students’ needs, continually and automatically assess students’ mastery of concepts, deliver targeted interventions, and monitor learning progress. ScootPad, which was acquired by the Learning Explorer company from the ACT® non-profit testing organization in 2023, is included in MISBO’s “Digital Educational Resources” category.
“Independent schools can now reduce the cost and time associated with procuring the ScootPad learning platform thanks to the dedication of the MISBO consortium,” said Mark Rankovic, Learning Explorer’s president and CEO. “We know that independent schools benefit significantly from ScootPad’s ability to continually adapt instruction for all learners and allow teachers to easily monitor simultaneous, personalized learning paths across a classroom. MISBO has already offered opportunities for us to educate schools about ScootPad and we look forward to the continued collaboration.”
