Seesaw is the only elementary learning experience platform offering a suite of award-winning tools, resources, and curriculum for teachers to deliver joyful, inclusive instruction. Through interactive lessons, digital portfolios, and two-way communication features, Seesaw keeps everyone in the learning loop by providing continuous visibility into the student’s learning experience.
New for the 2024-25 school year, Seesaw Instruction & Insights helps school and district administrators expand the power of the learning loop even further with engagement and performance dashboards to make data-driven decisions, premium instruction & assessment tools to improve teaching and learning, and exclusive access to elementary Early Literacy and English Language Development curricula.
“As an educator and coach, I am always thinking about how to design and provide learning experiences that give ALL students an equal opportunity to succeed,” says Lucretia A., a TK-12 innovation coach in California. “Seesaw allows flexibility in ways students access/engage with materials and show what they know. You see their faces light up when they have ownership of their own learning.”
Seesaw is currently used by more than 25 million students, families, teachers, and administrators worldwide. Its multimodal tools and over 6,000 standards-aligned lessons help teachers deliver high-quality instruction while its inclusive communication tools give families insight into what’s happening in the classroom. Digital Portfolios capture learning completed online and offline to showcase student growth. AI-powered formative assessments save teachers time and help them routinely assess – and make data-driven decisions about – student understanding.
Seesaw is the only learning experience platform designed specifically for PreK-5 students. The developmentally-appropriate, evidence-based platform promotes ease of use for young learners and offers a complete solution for elementary classrooms, schools, and districts around the world. No other product offers the breadth of capabilities – PreK-5 lessons and curricula, multimodal tools, family communication, digital portfolios, AI-powered formative assessments, and teacher-facing tools for differentiation – that strengthens the learning loop between teachers, students, families, and administrators.
“Students across my district use Seesaw to be independent learners and to improve their listening, speaking, reading and writing,” says Katheryn K., an elementary curriculum specialist in Texas.
Seesaw Instruction & Insights Solves Challenges
One of the biggest challenges for teachers is keeping all students engaged. Seesaw’s multimodal tools promote agency and creativity for all students in every subject. Portfolios provide a space for students to take ownership over their learning. Students can see their progress and celebrate success with families.
“Around the time Seesaw came out, I was frustrated and disappointed in the lack of primary friendly apps available that would engage young learners and open a window to their understanding,” says Sarah H., a learning commons director in Illinois. “Seesaw was that window and I’m truly blown away by how far the platform has come to not only meet the needs of students but also those of educators and families. Seesaw is unmatched when it comes to a learning platform that allows students to show their understanding of concepts.”
Differentiation is time-consuming and hard to execute, however, Seesaw allows teachers to share or customize different activities with individual students or student groups. The wide variety of creative tools gives all students voice and choice across subject areas without the need to create different assignments.
For school administrators, determining the effectiveness of edtech investments can be a major challenge. Seesaw offers engagement dashboards to determine the effectiveness of their implementation and performance dashboards to measure student progress against standards.
“Our district doubled our family engagement with the messaging features in Seesaw,” says Jennifer L., a district technology integration coach in Wisconsin. “The real game changer was using the translation feature to talk to our EL families.”
And when implementing curriculum and edtech products with fidelity, schools and districts can use or create standards- and curriculum-aligned lessons within their Seesaw Library. They can also utilize Seesaw’s professional development services for effective implementation.
