Newsela
Content and assessment platform
Newsela is a K-12 instructional platform that brings curriculum content, assessment, and data analytics together for schools and districts. It addresses the need to connect cross-curricular teaching materials with real-time assessment and reporting so educators can act on student progress across ELA, social studies, STEM, and writing.
The Newsela Learning Suite provides a single platform spanning Newsela ELA, Social Studies, STEM, and Writing, with differentiated texts, standards-aligned activities, and multimodal resources such as Generation Genius video lessons, PhET Simulations, primary sources, and virtual field trips. Luna, an AI-powered assistant, supports lesson planning, activity design, text differentiation, and rubric-aligned writing feedback. Balanced Assessment by Formative handles standards-aligned assessments and real-time growth tracking, while Schoolytics provides automated data syncs, layered academic and behavioral insights, and custom dashboards. Reporting is available at the admin, teacher, and student levels.
Newsela is built for teachers, administrators, and district leaders. It offers a free trial for teachers, a free demo for Schoolytics, and contact-based sales for schools and districts; pricing details are available by request.
