🎉 Congratulations to Prodigy Education on scaling district-wide adoption—without sacrificing its zero-cost teacher-first roots! Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gGwnYZ_q Prodigy built a name for itself by winning over classrooms with engaging, game-based learning - all available at no cost to teachers. But as districts sought more oversight, privacy safeguards, and scalable integrations, a bottom-up approach wasn’t enough. Rather than change what made their product shine, Prodigy partnered with Clever to grow on their terms—preserving what teachers love while also demonstrating how they met district needs for security and control. Here’s the impact:  🚀 8,300+ Districts reached in Year 1 🚀 26% Above average approval rate with district admins 🚀 1,600+ Average daily logins for first-time teachers From secure rostering to educator PD, Clever helped Prodigy expand its reach by developing stronger relationships with districts. Today, it's a trusted tool for districts and a beloved free resource for teachers. 👏 Shoutout to Cara Yarzab, Joshua Prieur, Ed.D., and the team at Prodigy Education for showing that with the right partner, scale and trust can go hand in hand.
