Amira Learning

From Amira's Visit to Good Day Sacramento: Children today are struggling to learn to read. A staggering two-thirds are not proficient, and nationwide teacher shortages have left 55,000 K-12 classrooms without certified educators. The “summer slide” coupled with literacy gaps exacerbated by COVID have cast a light on the literacy crisis in our country. This weekend our CEO, Mark Angel sat down with Tina Macahu at CBS News’ Good Day Sacramento to discuss Amira’s important work with three Sacramento School Districts - Natomas, Sacramento City, and Twin Rivers - that have incorporated Amira into their literacy programs this summer. https://lnkd.in/gPyrPAcc Grounded in the Science of Reading and built using powerful AI, Amira has helped over 2 million students, across 15 countries and 5 continents with reading. Get in touch to see how Amira can help your school. #LiteracyGains #AccelerateReading #educationInnovation #EdTech

"When Clay Christensen, who was my mentor and got me into this field, he wrote his first book called "The Innovator's Dilemma". It was basically like, if you're wildly successful and you do everything right, you ultimately die because the upstarts come in and upend you. And then he was like, well, gosh, that's kind of depressing. So when he wrote "The Innovator Solution".
