ClassMate by World Book, a platform designed to enhance literacy and knowledge across subjects, has been awarded the prestigious ISTE Seal from the International Society for Technology in Education. This certification recognizes educational technologies that demonstrate effective usability and are grounded in research. With only 30% of eighth-grade students performing at or above proficient reading levels in 2024, ClassMate aims to bridge this literacy gap by integrating carefully curated content and research-backed reading strategies into middle school curricula. The platform's closed AI model ensures that it operates solely on World Book's vetted content, addressing concerns about the risks associated with generative AI tools in educational settings. This independent certification provides school administrators with the confidence needed to adopt new technologies, ensuring that ClassMate is a reliable resource for improving student learning outcomes. Available to school districts nationwide, ClassMate empowers educators with ready-to-use instructional materials that enhance teaching while fostering critical thinking and confident reading among students.
