Abby Richardson teaches science and technology to grades 6 through 8 at St. Agatha School. Before Stile, she often found herself stitching together lessons that didn’t quite fit. Since adopting Stile in 2022, that’s changed.

“Stile has made planning a lot easier,” she said. “There’s a lot less work on my part. I trust the lessons, I know the style, and if I don’t have time to fully proof the lesson beforehand, I know it’ll still be good. And I can still add my own resources. It’s adaptable.”

Stile’s structured scope and sequence makes day-to-day planning easier and gives Abby the space to focus on what matters most: her students.

She’s also found that Stile’s interactive features help students stay focused and excited to learn. From drag-and-drop activities to polls, audio uploads, and written response questions, every student can engage in ways that match their learning style.

“I like that the brainstorm tool is instantaneous,” Abby said. “It puts all of the kids’ views up there, so they can see what others are thinking.”

For the first time in a decade, Abby felt confident running a science fair—with Stile’s Student Research Project template helping students build their Science and Engineering Practices.

And with in-lesson feedback tools, she’s able to leave targeted comments on student work and revisit those ideas in class. “Students can take action on the feedback for homework or the next day,” she said. “They’re reaching mastery—and they like that.”
