Newsela Named to TIME's America's Top EdTech Companies of 2026

Newsela’s Chief Academic Officer shares his perspective on the roles district leaders, policy-makers, and teachers should play in the screen time debate.

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! See how we’re celebrating you and showing appreciation for everything you do in your classroom.

With cellphone bans and debates about classroom screen time gaining significant momentum, teachers, parents, and education leaders are not just debating tools; they’re rethinking instruction itself. At the center of these conversations is a shared belief: learning must be intentional, effective, and grounded in student needs. At Newsela, that belief is our foundation. Our mission as an education company remains unchanged: Meaningful classroom learning for every student, every day.
