Idaho school district implements learning
management system districtwide for improved instruction, curriculum
organization, and to reduce teacher workload
PowerSchool (NYSE: PWSC), the leading provider of cloud-based
software for K-12 education in North America, today announced West
Ada School District (WASD) in Meridian, Idaho has selected
PowerSchool Unified Classroom® Schoology Learning as its primary
learning management system. Along with PowerSchool Student
Information System (SIS), Schoology Learning has helped WASD
provide its teachers with powerful, intuitive tools to improve
student performance, districtwide collaboration, parental and
family engagement, and standards tracking. This combination of
complementary systems helps reduce unnecessary and teacher
workloads.
“After using the PowerSchool SIS for over a decade, PowerSchool
solutions have proven their value when it comes to empowering
teachers and creating better learning outcomes,” said Dustin
Barrett, Ph.D., Director of Curriculum and Instruction, West Ada
School District. “Since moving to a one-to-one student to device
ratio during the pandemic, Schoology Learning has helped us
effectively deliver instruction and track student learning, whether
it’s in the classroom or at home. The robust interface paired with
the usability are unmatched.”
Prior to PowerSchool, WASD was looking for a learning management
system capable of managing both classroom instruction and grade
tracking, regardless of location. Switching from Microsoft Teams*
to Schoology Learning, with all its benefits as a full-scale LMS,
helped lessen the load for teachers even as the rigors of
day-to-day instruction increased during the pandemic. After
reviewing various options, WASD chose Schoology Learning based on
the platform’s intuitive interface and design allowing teachers to
manage course and material distribution in an effective,
time-saving manner. Since integrating Schoology Learning, WASD has
been able to store and disseminate curriculum documents, vetted
instruction materials, and common assessments for staff members.
Further, the LMS has also allowed the district to not only
communicate, store, and deliver instructional materials to students
more effectively, but also increase communication with parents.
“We believe Schoology Learning is the premier learning
management platform in the world, so we’re thrilled to see West Ada
begin to implement Schoology within their own schools,” said Craig
Greenseid, Chief Revenue Officer, PowerSchool. “Schoology Learning
works to unify various components of the instructional process in a
solution that is easy to operate for both teachers and students,
enabling students, parents, teachers, and administrators to be more
productive and enhance learning.”
Established in 1950, WASD is a public school district located in
Meridian, Idaho serving approximately 40,000 students in grades
K-12. WASD is the largest Local Education Agency in Idaho and
provides more educational job opportunities than any other school
district in the state. The district currently has approximately
2,550 certified employees and 2,160 classified (non-teaching)
employees. Enrollment has been increasing rapidly with about 1,000
new students enrolling each year.
