Freckle empowers teachers to ensure that it reaches every one of their students at the level that's best for them. It empowers more than 550,000 teachers to ensure every student gets a world-class education. Most teachers are only provided with resources that teach one specific level. To overcome this, teachers work nights and weekends to find the perfect piece of content for each of their students. Then, during the day, they work with their classes in small groups so they can personalize their instruction as best they can. Teachers are doing this all on their own and they deserve some help. That’s why Freckle provides teachers the resources and data they need to teach all of their students.
