What is the Renaissance National Honor Roll?

The Renaissance National Honor Roll program is designed to help guide educators to data targets that research has shown result in greater student growth through implementation strategies. It is available to teachers, librarians, and school administrators.

There are seven monthly challenges published September through March. The challenges are like bite-sized chunks of professional development to help educators improve implementation and get more out of the programs. The ultimate goal is to demonstrate student growth throughout the year. The final step of the process entails data submission for educators to show their achievement of the targets. Those who meet the targets will be recognized through an achievement kit that includes customizable digital student certificates, a classroom pennant, and a school banner.

What people are saying about the Renaissance Honor Roll

Participating in National Honor Roll has motivated my students to read more and accomplish their reading goals. The Accelerated Reader program is design for students to have access of their progress and see how far they are from meeting their reading goals.

Magaly Piña, Fifth Grade Teacher • Texas

The National Honor Roll enticed me to use Lalilo and Nearpod in accordance with my Star Assessments. This experience has shown me how to pair Lalilo and Nearpod with Star Assessments to find new ways to help my students who are struggling in certain areas.

Lisa Sommer, Title 1 Reading Teacher and Dyslexia Specialist • Missouri

The National Honor Roll has helped me to gain strategies and knowledge that I share with my students and coworkers to build lifelong readers. I gained insight on how to utilize the reports to better meet the needs of my students. The discussions from other teachers and librarians gave me great new resources and different ways to look at how to teach and encourage reading. I would encourage everyone that works with students to participate in National Honor Roll to learn new resources and remember old resources that we might have forgotten about.
