Join this session to analyze the key factors that influence Newsela's reading recommendations and better understand your students' learning needs. You will establish a practical data review routine that helps you monitor progress and target specific support for individual learners. Finally, you'll use built-in scaffolding and reteaching features to ensure all students access and succeed with rigorous academic material.
