So with our station, we are reimagining education because the landscape of education is changing. And as it changes, our station is going to evolve with that. That's what we're doing. And so you're gonna find new educator experiences. The students are gonna a new experience. And then we're gonna be working with our teachers in a way that's new. And so we really want to provide them with the support that they need Teachers are awesome and I'm not saying that because I am one. But teachers are awesome, you know, and they need time and there's only so many hours in the day. We're reimagining the educator experience because it's never been more important to save time for our When I say educator experience, that's really everywhere that I Station interfaces with adults. Whether it be parents, teachers, administrators, and this is everything from the reporting website to our teacher resources. So this is kind of what the educator experience is, but what we're transforming it to become is really a world class recommendation engine that tells you exactly what you need to know right when you need to know it. Some of the exciting features that are coming out in the new educator experience is a weekly recommendations section. And I would think about this like a social media feed for your classroom, your school, or your district. This is that kind of central command center where you're gonna see what's going on with your students and see what you need to do about it. Well, this is the section that tells you how to use I Station as intended as it's meant to be, and it really is that kind of coach that assistant on your shoulder telling you what's needed at the next time. There are a few features that we're adding to the I Station student experience that I think are really fabulous. We're adding the ability for students to see how much time they spent in the program for each of the subjects that they have access to. We're adding grade banded experiences, meaning we're really taking into consideration the differences between a kindergartner and a third grader and an eighth grader and designing is something that's developmentally appropriate. And we're adding just little moments of whimsy, things that are fun and engaging, you know, a fun little interaction when they click a button, a little shimmery thing things that are just there to catch your attention and make you stay engaged with with the experience. The customer success team is committed to collaborating with educators to produce successful student outcomes. And our goal is to really make sure that educators' lives are easier. We are changing the way that we partner with educators. We want to sit alongside educators, understand their challenges, make sure that we can help them use I State to accelerate learning for all students. And one of the ways that we're doing that is we're building an educator community. That community is going to give a voice to our educator it's gonna help them connect with each other and really give them opportunities to grow and learn. We want our educators to feel like they can trust us and they can count on us to support them.
