We are so grateful to our Paladins! 🛡️💕We can’t wait to have more of you join our Community and be with us next year as we bridge the gaps in STEM education to help each of our students build lifelong identities in mathematical sciences.
Celebrating our “Firsts”🛡 This past week, July 21-22nd, we hosted our Inaugural Prisms Paladin Convention. I’ve long believed that it’s not historical events that tell us the real story, rather the relationships between the people behind these events and movements. Our first Paladin Convention was intended to memorialize this important moment in time for education reform, and the love and adoration between the courageous educators who chose to depart from our antiquated math and science teaching methods that have left millions of children asking the question “why am I learning this, why does this matter, and worst, why am I here?” The first group of educators who have been in the trenches with us day in and day out over the past 4 years building the infrastructure to make this a reality for every child in the US — got to finally meet in-person in SF last week, and celebrate being a teacher in 2024! Building Together 🧱 Prisms is a movement of thought, that’s fast evolving and defining what it will mean to be a math and science teacher in the next decade, with next generation technologies that will transform the learning process into one that’s personal because it’s connected to self, our more natural ways of expression, bodies, tactile, active and relevant to change we want to see the world. At our inaugural gathering, we launched Prisms 2024 - which included the unveiling of lots of new learning content (including middle school science!), our new kinesthetic skill building modules for ongoing procedural practice but with deep spatial and kinesthetic meaning making, our new spatialized hint agent that changes the game from 2D video hints to fully 3D explanations with multimodal tools, screencasting on our teacher dashboard for high quality Socratic discourse between teachers and students amongst many many new features! Our Paladins’ suggestions and guidance around the teacher upskilling / coaching, new content, classroom implementation and data needs were invaluable as we get ready for Prisms 2025! Looking Ahead 🔮 As we start the 2024-2025 academic year- We are so excited for each of you to inspire the next cohort of teachers to take the transformational step in bringing Prisms' experiential learning model to more deserving students. It’s a serious year as we measure our impact at scale, launch in 300+ US K-12 school districts, serve over 50% of the largest 50 school districts in our country across 35 states. We cannot and will not be able to achieve our vision without teachers who take risks to improve our craft, and it began with our first ever 48 Paladins - Thank you for believing in Prisms. Thank you for your unwavering support and for being a leader for this transformative journey to change how we teach. #Paladin #ThankYou #STEMEducation #EducationalTransformation #EmbodiedLearning #NextGenTeaching #prismsvr #VReducation #VR #math #science #immersivelearning #spatiallearning #spatialcomputing #education #experientiallearning
