Stride, Inc. Takes Digital Media to the Next Level with Expanding Partnership

Content from Never Whisper Justice Will Build on Stride’s Portfolio of Optional Curriculum Offerings

As the nation’s leading online and blended learning program provider, Stride, Inc. (NYSE: LRN) is committed to providing a high-quality education for anyone—particularly those from underserved and historically underrepresented communities.

An expanding partnership with Never Whisper Justice (NWJ), a justice-centered creative agency, builds on this commitment by connecting film and curriculum to foster critical conversations about social justice and racial equity.

As part of a new film and documentary curriculum series at Stride, teachers will now have the option to incorporate more digital media into their lessons. More diverse curriculum and content offerings will continue to help teachers and school leaders connect to learners of all backgrounds and walks of life.

“Whether a teacher, a student, or a film is telling a story, the art of storytelling has a pivotal role in the classroom,” said Niyoka McCoy, Stride’s Chief Learning Officer. “Stories are the best way for students to gain new knowledge and connect it to their real-life experiences. And with this partnership, we’re providing ready-made curriculum that complements digital media.”

The new film and documentary curriculum is part of the Stride Learning Hub: a digital teaching tool that allows educators to customize their respective courses with Stride activities, lessons, and assessments.

Additionally, the partnership with Never Whisper Justice is part of Stride’s multi-year commitment to supporting racial and socioeconomic equity and inclusion in and through education.

“Through the production of our documentary films, we believe in the power of listening to acknowledge our collective humanity,” said Jon-Thomas Royston, CEO of Never Whisper Justice. “We hope the pairing of film and curriculum inspires a culture of imagination that lifts up our lived experiences in unprecedented ways.”

Stride has been a leading voice in support of parental choice in American public education for more than 20 years. The company’s other commitments include investing $10 million in scholarships for underserved students and developing socially conscious legal and law enforcement career pathways of study.
