Teaching Strategies Earns Two CODiE Awards for Early Childhood Education Solutions
Teaching Strategies has been awarded two CODiE Awards for its early childhood education solutions, recognizing its integrated approach to supporting educators, families, and young learners.
Teaching Strategies, a provider of early childhood education solutions, announced it has received two 2026 CODiE Awards for its flagship curriculum and integrated platform. The awards recognize the most innovative products and services in technology and education, selected by industry experts.
The company secured the Best PK/Early Childhood Learning Solution award for "The Creative Curriculum for Preschool." Additionally, it won Best Suite of Connected/Integrated Solutions for "SmartTeach," a platform designed to combine curriculum, assessment, professional learning, and family engagement.
"Early childhood educators deserve tools that work together to make teaching more seamless," said CEO Mike Derezin. "We're honored the CODiE Awards recognized both The Creative Curriculum and the SmartTeach platform that brings this connected experience to life." The judging process assesses innovation, functionality, market impact, and overall value.
These accolades coincide with new research highlighting the benefits of integrated approaches. A multiyear study by Rutgers University's National Institute for Early Education Research found that when teachers used Teaching Strategies' connected ecosystem, teacher retention increased by 59%, and children showed stronger developmental growth.
