K12 Teaching and Learning

Educators today face a variety of challenges. Instead of turning to multiple tools to meet their needs, educators and districts across North America are using the ANGEL Learning Management Suite (LMS) to address a variety of 21st Century challenges with a single solution. The ANGEL LMS brings the power of technology and the Internet to teaching and learning in an easy-to-use, yet powerful system teachers and students quickly adopt. With the ANGEL LMS, schools and districts can:

• Enrich Teaching and Learning
• Manage the Classroom
• Develop 21st Century Skills
• Extend the School Curriculum
• Facilitate Professional Development

ANGEL's signature ease of use makes it possible for educators, schools, and districts to develop and implement a technology-rich curriculum that reflects both individual pedagogical styles and institutional vision. This comprehensive e-learning solution delivers web-enhanced and online classes that meet the needs of all stakeholders.

Enrich Teaching and Learning

Today’s students think and learn differently. The ANGEL LMS not only engages students using the tools they use in their daily lives, it also helps educators provide differentiated instruction and develop engaging curriculum. Districts can also meet accountability demands by simplifying the process of aligning state standards with the school curriculum.

Manage the Classroom

The focus of time in the classroom should be on teaching and learning, not administrative tasks. The ANGEL LMS leverages technology to automatic repetitive tasks and eliminate manual grading efforts through its integrated gradebook. The ANGEL LMS also links the home and school by enabling parental communication and providing for electronic distribution and management of homework assignments.

Develop 21st Century Skills

Today's students will need a variety of high-level competencies to compete in tomorrow's workplace. The ANGEL LMS helps students develop a number of 21st Century skills by reinforcing communication and collaboration skills, instilling student responsibility, and encouraging and enabling creativity.

Extend the School Curriculum

From offering AP and credit recovery options, reaching homebound students, and supporting alternative and at-risk students, the ANGEL LMS provides for effective online options. Whether the need is for a complete on-line learning solution or enhancing the traditional classroom, the ANGEL LMS provides the capabilities needed.

Facilitate Professional Development

The ANGEL LMS also benefits educators by providing a platform for effective professional development. Educators appreciate the flexibility electronic professional development provides, and they learn first-hand the benefits of virtual learning spaces. Schools embracing Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) will also appreciate the communication and community building capabilities of the ANGEL LMS.
