KickUp is a K–12 educator-growth platform that combines professional-learning management with coaching, walkthrough, feedback, and employee-evaluation workflows. Districts can centralize learning opportunities, attendance, credits, transcripts, forms, observation data, goals, and growth activity instead of maintaining separate systems and spreadsheets.

The platform is designed to connect professional learning with district priorities and evidence about educator practice. Modular licensing matters: districts should document whether they use Learning, Coaching and Walks, Growth, dashboards, or other components and how employee, identity, and course data enter the system.

Kide Science is Accelerate Learning’s play-based early science curriculum. It is intended primarily for preschool and primary-grade learners, with young learners, early-childhood teachers, families, and curriculum leaders using it to support inquiry, play, science practices, language, and imaginative investigation.

Children investigate science questions through stories, dramatic play, hands-on experiments, discussion, and documentation. Districts should evaluate how the product fits adopted curriculum, student needs, instructional time, and the work educators must do around it.

Koha is a free and open-source integrated library system for cataloging, circulation, patrons, acquisitions, serials, authorities, reporting, notices, and public discovery. It supports single libraries, multi-branch systems, and consortia through browser-based staff and patron interfaces.

The software has no license fee or single required vendor, but it is not operationally free: districts must provide hosting, security, upgrades, backups, integrations, migration, configuration, and support themselves or contract with a Koha service provider. The quality and cost of the implementation depend heavily on that operating model.

LanSchool Air is Lenovo's cloud-based classroom-management platform for Chromebooks, Windows, Mac, and mixed-device classrooms. It gives teachers a live view of student screens and tools to limit websites, blank or lock screens, open a website for the class, share the teacher's screen, exchange messages, and respond to digital hand raises.

The system helps teachers manage attention and provide support during device-based instruction; it is not a full Chromebook inventory, repair, configuration, or lifecycle platform. Google Classroom, Clever, and ClassLink roster connections can reduce class setup, while district administrators manage deployment and the conditions under which monitoring is permitted.

Learning A-Z is a portfolio that includes Raz-Plus, Reading A-Z, Science A-Z, Vocabulary A-Z, and related services. It is intended primarily for early-childhood and elementary readers, with some resources extending higher, with classroom teachers, reading specialists, multilingual-learner staff, students, and families using it to support foundational literacy, leveled reading, science reading, vocabulary, and language development.

Educators select printable and digital texts, lessons, practice, quizzes, and progress information from licensed Learning A-Z components. Districts should evaluate how the product fits adopted curriculum, student needs, instructional time, and the work educators must do around it.

Learning Explorer is a standards-aligned instructional-resource search and lesson-building platform. It is intended primarily for K–12 educators finding and organizing instructional resources, with teachers, coaches, curriculum leaders, and students using it to support resource discovery, lesson planning, curriculum mapping, and differentiated assignment.

Educators find, curate, adapt, and assign lessons and digital resources from multiple providers. Districts should evaluate how the product fits adopted curriculum, student needs, instructional time, and the work educators must do around it.

Learning Explorer and Educational Leadership Solutions (ELS) merged in January 2024. The publisher now presents Pathways Learning Studio as a connected environment for learning, assessment, analytics and instructional resources, with a phased rollout announced for 2026. Learning Explorer, Lesson Planet, ScootPad and the Pathways assessment products retain distinct product histories; a company merger does not establish that a district uses every component.

LearnPlatform by Instructure is an edtech-management and evidence platform for inventorying digital learning products, monitoring usage, supporting privacy and compliance review, organizing approvals, and evaluating effectiveness and return on investment. It helps districts replace disconnected spreadsheets used for software requests and renewals.

The platform is directly relevant to the user’s original reason for creating the Workflow category, but its clearer home is EdTech Management, Software Governance, or Application Portfolio Management. Existing interoperability values are preserved pending the future connector redesign.

Lexia Learning is a portfolio of adaptive literacy programs including Core5, PowerUp, and English-language development products. It is designed primarily for students in prekindergarten through high school, especially developing and struggling readers, with classroom teachers, reading specialists, interventionists, multilingual-learner staff, and administrators using it to support foundational reading, language, comprehension, and adolescent literacy.

Students receive sequenced practice while educators use diagnostic and progress data to target small-group or individual instruction. The product should be evaluated for the specific learners, instructional setting, and intensity of support a district intends—not simply as another source of digital activities.

Lexia Reading Plus is an ambiguous catalog record that combines the unrelated Lexia and Reading Plus brands. It is designed primarily for students receiving digital reading practice or intervention, but the intended product is unclear, with reading teachers, interventionists, and students using it to support reading fluency, comprehension, vocabulary, or foundational literacy depending on the intended vendor.

The current name and Lexia URL conflict with the separate Reading Plus record in this batch, so accurate instructional claims cannot be assigned without district verification. The product should be evaluated for the specific learners, instructional setting, and intensity of support a district intends—not simply as another source of digital activities.

Linewize Classwize is a classroom-management application that gives teachers real-time visibility and control over student web activity during instruction. Teachers can view screens or tabs, focus students on approved resources, pause internet access, close distractions, and temporarily allow sites within limits established by district technology staff.

Classwize integrates with Linewize Filter and can use roster information from Google Classroom or supported SIS connections. It supports instruction and classroom device management rather than enterprise data security, so this listing should move to the classroom-management category while retaining its relationship to the Linewize safety suite.

Linewize Monitor is a K–12 student-safety threat-detection service that analyzes activity on supported school-managed devices for signs of self-harm, suicide, bullying, violence, abuse, exploitation, and other serious concerns. It captures context around flagged activity and routes alerts to authorized district responders.

The service can include automated detection, trained human review, and round-the-clock escalation depending on the district's subscription. It does not replace professional judgment or emergency protocols; districts need defined alert recipients, privacy safeguards, documentation practices, and response procedures.

Linewize Pulse is a student-wellbeing check-in and early-detection platform. Students complete a brief recurring check-in about how they are feeling and their school experience, and they can ask to speak with a trusted adult; staff receive actionable information for outreach rather than waiting for concerns to surface through discipline or academic failure.

The product helps schools monitor wellbeing trends and connect individual students with support while protecting anonymity for broader experience questions. It may inform behavior and climate work, but it is fundamentally a wellbeing and student-voice system, not a discipline, referral, or PBIS rewards platform.

MajorClarity is a college and career readiness platform that links career discovery with academic plans and postsecondary action. Students complete career assessments and hands-on 'test-drive' activities, compare careers and education options, create multiyear course plans, track applications and transcripts, and document work-based learning and employability skills.

For districts, the product brings counseling, CTE, graduation planning, and readiness reporting into one environment. MajorClarity was acquired by Paper in 2023 and then moved to Edmentum in October 2025, where it is being combined with Edmentum's career curricula, certification preparation, and related secondary-school products.

Mastery Connect is Instructure’s standards-based formative and benchmark assessment platform. Educators create or select assessments, align items to standards, administer checks, and view mastery information by student, class, standard, and assessment.

Professional learning communities and district teams use shared trackers, common assessments, item banks, and reports to coordinate pacing, reteaching, intervention, and enrichment. Districts should align administration, accommodations, score interpretation, data access, and retention with the intended use of the assessment.

Math 180 is HMH’s blended intensive mathematics-intervention program. It is intended primarily for middle- and high-school students needing intensive mathematics intervention, with intervention teachers, students, special educators, coaches, and administrators using it to support foundational numeracy, proportional reasoning, algebra readiness, and mathematical confidence.

Students rotate among teacher-led instruction, collaborative work, and adaptive software within a structured intervention period. Districts should evaluate how the product fits adopted curriculum, student needs, instructional time, and the work educators must do around it.

McGraw Hill ConnectED is a legacy or ambiguously named McGraw Hill digital curriculum platform. It is designed primarily for students and educators using older McGraw Hill K–12 digital programs; the linked page currently points to higher education, with teachers, students, curriculum staff, and technology administrators using it to support access to mcgraw hill digital textbooks, assignments, and program resources.

Historically, ConnectED provided sign-in and delivery for adopted K–12 programs; current product identity and successor platform must be confirmed locally. The product should be evaluated for the specific learners, instructional setting, and intensity of support a district intends—not simply as another source of digital activities.

McGraw Hill StudySync is a secondary English language arts curriculum with print and digital resources. It is designed primarily for middle- and high-school English language arts students, including learners needing differentiated access, with ELA teachers, students, curriculum leaders, and intervention/support staff using it to support literature, informational text, writing, language, discussion, and media literacy.

Teachers use thematic units, close reading, collaborative discussion, writing tasks, grammar, assessment, and scaffolds to build grade-level literacy. The product should be evaluated for the specific learners, instructional setting, and intensity of support a district intends—not simply as another source of digital activities.
