PARAMUS,
N.J., May 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Savvas
Learning Company today announced the newest edition of its
award-winning, standards-aligned myPerspectives English Language
Arts (ELA) program, enhanced with powerful interactive
resources that provide students with exciting multimedia content
and give teachers valuable tools to monitor students' progress in
real-time.
"myPerspectives immerses learners in
thoughtful texts that ... push them to think critically and
deeper"
Building on its highly successful, evidence-based approach that
improves student outcomes, myPerspectives © 2025 for grades
6-12 offers greater opportunities for student engagement, increased
options for differentiated teaching, and more reading and writing
support to help every student achieve their potential.
Reaching secondary students is essential in preparing them to
become critical thinkers and effective communicators, especially in
today's fast-paced digital world. With an emphasis on promoting
student ownership and choice, myPerspectives engages
students with relevant, student-centered content that allows them
to explore, share, and grow with personalized learning experiences,
while honing important reading, writing, speaking, and listening
skills.
"Literacy has the power to unlock the world for students. At
Savvas, we know that high-quality, research-based curriculum is key
to helping students master the literacy skills they need to be
successful in college, career, and life," said Bethlam Forsa, CEO
of Savvas Learning Company. "By placing students at the center of
learning, myPerspectives immerses learners in thoughtful
texts that ask important questions, push them to think critically
and deeper, and build knowledge across content areas so students
become skilled readers and communicators in our information
age."
Designed by leading authors and educators, the program's
evidence-based pedagogy has been determined to meet ESSA (Every
Student Succeeds Act) Level 2 Evidence for its significantly
positive effect on learning outcomes. A previous study conducted by
independent researchers showed that students using
myPerspectives demonstrated significantly higher ELA
proficiency rates after just one year of program implementation
compared to students not using the program.
Delivered on the award-winning Savvas Realize learning
management system, myPerspectives gives teachers the
flexibility they need to personalize instruction for every student
with innovative digital as well as print resources, timely
assessment tools, and data-informed insights and reports.
Responding to teacher input, Savvas added to the new edition
powerful interactive resources that provide real-time student
feedback to help educators differentiate and deliver instruction
for each skills lesson. These responsive support tools include
pre-lesson readiness checks to quickly gauge students' knowledge of
a skill and post-lesson exit tickets to assess students' learning.
Another new feature, also developed at the request of teachers, is
the online Language Coach that offers on-the-spot reading
scaffolds for students.
New to myPerspectives is a groundbreaking feature called
Media Studio, which guides students through analyzing media
sources and creating their own projects, helping them become savvy
consumers and producers of content.
Other exciting enhancements to the new edition of
myPerspectives include:
- An Integrated ELA Approach that Supports the Science of
Reading. Instruction and support for background knowledge,
vocabulary, language structures, verbal reasoning, and literacy
knowledge are embedded directly into the program.
- Student-Centered Learning with High-Quality, Diverse
Content. Contemporary texts and media allow students to see
themselves reflected in the stories, and develop their own voice as
they build knowledge and participate in the broader conversation. A
built-in gradual release instructional model promotes ownership of
learning, collaboration, and student independence.
- Effective Teaching Strategies and Time-Saving Tools.
Embedded differentiated instruction, multilingual learner support,
and timely on-the-spot progress monitoring give teachers the
support they need to personalize learning for each unique learner.
The program also optimizes teachers' planning and teaching with
more modeling videos, editable lesson slides, and a slide sorter of
lesson resources to make assigning easier.
- Streamlined Digital Functionality and Flexibility.
Cutting-edge technology and flexible resources make teaching easier
and enhance classroom instruction with features such as AI-powered
essay scoring to improve student writing and Hook &
Inspire links to music, songs, videos to engage students.
For educators like Dawn Stamper,
an ELA high school teacher in Ohio's Beavercreek City Schools, one of the major
benefits of myPerspectives is its comprehensive set of
effective offerings, allowing for what she calls its "one-stop-shop
approach."
"The depth and variety of content in myPerspectives is
impressive. Everything is there for the teacher and student,
whether it be the full text with comprehension, deeper analysis,
vocabulary, language and style questions or support for
differentiating instruction," Stamper said. "I also like that I
have the freedom to switch between the digital and print consumable
products, and students like that they can rely on digital access if
they forget their book at school or home. Our district has used
myPerspectives for five years, and we've decided to continue
using it for five more."
For educators looking for even more powerful assessments,
Momentum Literacy, part of the Savvas Momentum Assessment Suite,
works seamlessly with myPerspectives for grades 6-8 by
identifying each student's greatest opportunities for growth and
pairing that data with aligned instructional resources. The
screeners and diagnostics can also be used with
SuccessMaker, a proven-effective, continuously adaptive
personalized reading program. Together, the complete solution for
literacy delivers cutting-edge assessments, high-quality core
curriculum, and adaptive personalized learning all on one platform,
providing an individualized pathway to success for each
