Stride, Inc. Wins People’s Choice Stevie® Award in 2023 American Business Awards®

Stride, Inc.’s Promising Practices was named the winner of the People’s Choice Stevie® Award for the Professional Learning Solution for Education category in the 21st Annual American Business Awards®. This prestigious award recognizes the best educational applications or services designed to support PK-12 or postsecondary education institutions in the development of faculty and administrative staff—including professional development programs, learning management systems, and content development with video-based delivery and packaging tools.

Promising Practices, initially launched in 2011, is an annual conference organized by Stride, Inc. where Stride educators, administrators, and industry leaders showcase best practices, share ideas, and address the challenges and opportunities unique to online learning. Conference popularity and attendance have risen dramatically year-over-year for each of the past three years, with an overall satisfaction rate of about 90%.

Conference attendees—hailing from all over the United States—personalize their conference schedules by selecting from curated sessions across 10 genres including effective design, engagement practices, evidence of mastery, gamification, meaningful empowerment, and supporting diverse learners. Top conference sessions include "Bitmoji Classrooms for K12 Teaching,” “Bienvenidos A Stride,” “Phonics: What’s the Big Dill?," and “Game-Based Learning.” This infographic shares key highlights from 2023’s Promising Practices conference.

Niyoka McCoy, Stride's Chief Learning Officer, expressed her immense pride in Promising Practices being honored with a Stevie Award, stating, “After attending the 12th Annual Promising Practices Conference, I am thrilled to witness firsthand the transformative power of this exceptional event. The conference not only celebrates innovative approaches and inspiring initiatives but also serves to ignite creativity in all who attend. This award is a testament to Stride's unwavering commitment to advancing education and fostering collaboration, leaving an indelible mark on the future of learning.”

Testimonials from attendees further emphasize the positive and far-reaching impact of Promising Practices:

  • "This is why I LOVE Promising Practices! It’s like Christmas. Thank you for all of the resources as well as the opportunity to reflect and challenge myself to improve." -Stride Special Programs Manager
  • "I enjoyed all of the events I chose to attend today, but the one that stood out was "Having a Full Cup: Self-Care and Teaching" because I do not do enough for myself. And as I recently heard, you cannot pour from an empty cup." -Stride Teacher
  • "Mind Blown! Thank you Stride for constantly pushing us to be innovative and connect with students where they are!" -Non-Stride (External) Attendee
  • "Thank you! As always, Promising Practices was amazing and full of applicable take-aways I can immediately implement in my classroom." -Teacher & Presenter
