Another year is coming to a close and we wanted to take a moment to thank you for all of your support and feedback over the past 12 months. It’s been a busy year with lots of updates, lessons and features added to the site. Here are some of the highlights:

New Search Page: Search for content by grade, subject, price, resource type, seasonal, & interest topic, with editor’s picks and new lessons featured weekly.

Shopping Cart:We searched far and wide for the best buying experience. Behold, the shopping cart.

NextLesson Returning User Homepage / My NextLesson: Logged in users now have one central location where they can navigate to all parts of NextLesson.

Class Manager: Organize multiple classes to view InterestID Report data by class average or individual student.

InterestID: Student engagement, maximized. Connecting standards aligned lessons with student-selected interests. Learn more on our blog.
