Newsela PRO Offers a Great Licensing Deal for WIOA-funded Adult Education Agencies (Pssst: It is a 50% savings!)

Over the past year, OTAN has partnered with Newsela to provide a pilot for WIOA-funded adult education agencies to use Newsela PRO for a full year. During that time, over 175 teachers signed up for the pilot project.

Through surveys and other data sources, teachers saw significant use of Newsela PRO by learners not only for reading leveled informational texts, but also to build close reading strategies using embedded annotations to interact directly with the text. Additionally, Newsela's standards-aligned quizzes and real-time reporting provide teachers with insight into students' reading behavior, allowing them to deliver targeted and differentiated instruction.

Because of the success of both teachers and learners using Newsela PRO, Newsela is pleased to offer a very special offer to all WIOA-funded adult education agencies. This special half-price rate will be available for one full academic year. Interested agencies must contact Newsela directly through Jacob Zachs, Senior Sales Representative, jacob.zachs@newsela.com – call 860-345-1160 or set up an appointment. Teachers currently participating in the OTAN Newsela PRO pilot project will receive an invitation to participate in this special offer directly from Newsela PRO. The current license for the teachers in the pilot will expire on 6/30/2018. Teachers should contact their administrators about taking advantage of this offer before the expiration date to ensure continued access to Newsela PRO. New agencies taking advantage of the offer will start new licenses on July 1, 2018.
