    Indian Prairie School District 204

    Last week Tuesday, we hosted our first STEM Squad Leadership Team meeting. Hearing all about the innovative ways teachers are incorporating SAM Labs into their schedules, and the time spent engaging teachers in the vision of what's to come with STEM Integration was priceless! #SAMLabs #IPSD204 Laura Nylen

    SAM Labs reduces teacher workload, increases teacher confidence, and increases K12 student engagement in STEM, STEAM, and Computer Science

    Sometimes specific educators deserve special celebration. Courtney Bock and Cari Trowbridge from Mead School District definitely deserve it. They always see the potential in students and continuously find creative ways to get them to go above and beyond what they would normally do. It's obvious how much their students embrace "the struggle". I've loved seeing how they keep the struggle manageable by keeping things interesting, engaging, and exciting. Thanks to Joel Reber and Sydney Alvarez-Cates for the amazing work they do to partner up and support our teachers in Washington state!

    🌟 Thrilled to announce that ClassLink has approved SAM Labs as a partner! 🚀 ClassLink stands out in an environment where some major players make integration challenging. 🔗 In EdTech, impact on students depends on the strength of our ecosystem. 🏫 ClassLink puts students, teachers, and schools first. 🔧 They know that the ease with which we simplify teachers' lives is directly linked to how integrated our tools are. ❗️Let's call a spade a spade, if you wish to be considered by schools, you need ClassLink. So, given their size and importance, ClassLink COULD do the bare minimum. 💡 What does ClassLink do? They double down on integration support, answer every email, call, and request for advice immediately and then some. 🌟 They are exceptional for their support and generosity, and they go beyond that. 🌐 They invest in the whole ecosystem, advising employees and founders, helping them network, and helping them grow. 🏆 They set a high standard for the industry, one we can only wish to replicate. 👏 Special shout-out to Stephanie Beagle, Sergio Yepes, Kourosh Mirzaei, and Junio Vitorino from our team for their stellar work in implementing ClassLink SSO. 🎉 We also celebrate Fred Wolfe, a SAM Labs alumnus who is now part of the ClassLink family. 🌟 Patrick Devanney, Gregg Calvaruso, and Berj Akian at ClassLink, your outstanding leadership and "pay it forward" attitude, and that of the whole ClassLink family truly make a difference. Thank you. Check out ClassLink's blog post to learn more about the other EdTech companies joining the Classlink partnership: https://lnkd.in/ekzTsGJ3
