Friends, family, and many SEEDS of Learning™ partners and educators who have become friends and family came together to celebrate Kate Horst and her impactful contributions to early learning. We are excited to continue the work of spreading SEEDS and ensure educators are equipped with the knowledge and encouragement to support all children with the foundations of early literacy and vital social and emotional support from the very beginning of their lives and beyond. This memorable occasion was filled with tributes, joyful moments, a few tears, and deep gratitude for Kate’s lifelong work on SEEDS. As one attendee stated, “It’s only possible because of Kate’s huge heart”.

ICYMI: Read this EdWeek MarketBrief interview to learn how & why we're investing in generative AI to expand our program-specific professional learning resources & meet the challenge of supporting teachers at scale. The forthcoming CC AI Assistant is trained solely on our own programs and proprietary content, leveraging our decades of expertise providing professional learning for teachers using our programs. In current beta testing, CC AI is attaining an approximate 90% accuracy level in responding to educator queries. How does the creation of an AI tool align with our mission? President and CEO Kelly Stuart says: "It’s all to support teachers and leaders... One of our challenges — and a challenge that I think every organization creating curriculum has — is supporting teachers at scale with professional development. With big contracts, you still only reach a handful of teachers in that process, and it’s very expensive.... We really see a lever of change with teachers... If we can support teachers really well, then they can support their kids really well." 👉Read the @EdWeekMarketBrief interview with Collaborative Classroom's CEO and President Kelly Stuart and Liz Weiermiller, Digital Learning Manager for AI Innovation. https://lnkd.in/g7GAeF-6 #genAI #edtech #literacy #k12 #professionallearning #professionaldevelopment #AI #SIPPS #scienceofreading #education #educativecurriculum #nonprofit
