Vista, the K-12 division of Vista Higher Learning, has announced a new AI Innovation Partnership Program. The initiative will support districts, schools, and educators, empowering them to use AI to extend lessons, create engaging activities, and adapt Vista content in new ways. The first strategic partners in the initiative are TeachShare and Wayground.

Why it matters

As artificial intelligence becomes more common in education, many schools and districts are exploring how to use AI in thoughtful, sound, and systemic ways. Vista's new program aims to provide curated resources that give teachers the time and flexibility to differentiate instruction, meet students where they are, and make meaningful gains without having to piece together solutions on their own.

The details

Vista's AI Innovation Partnership Program brings together complementary technologies that expand what teachers can do in the classroom. TeachShare empowers educators to turn any instructional material into high-impact, standards-aligned learning tailored for every learner. Wayground focuses on creating engaging, interactive learning experiences that deepen student participation, bring language content to life, and foster student ownership of learning. With best-in-class tools to personalize lessons, scaffold content, and extend instruction, teachers can meet diverse needs faster and with greater confidence.
