5 Ways Lexia Makes EdTech Integration Easy for District Leaders

District leaders are wrestling with a hodgepodge of more than 1,400 tools used in classrooms each month. Districts rapidly expanded their tech stacks, often without sufficient implementation support or teacher training. Now, as reading scores continue to sink, leaders are scrambling to add science of reading solutions to their technology mix. But if the solution doesn’t integrate easily, reading gains can get derailed for simple reasons, including when users can’t quickly log in, access progress data, or worse, the program inadvertently puts sensitive student data at risk. 

Tech integration shouldn’t become a barrier to learning. In this article, we outline five practical ways Lexia® makes integration easy that every leader should know. These features enable leaders, teachers, and students to fully embrace the science of reading and Structured Literacy initiatives because the Lexia programs: 

• Easily fit within classroom routines

• Keep data safe

• Prevent information silos

• Give teachers data without time-consuming technical steps

Use these five tips as a snapshot of what any high-quality literacy solution should provide or download the solution guide for deeper consideration. You can share it with district tech teams to gain buy-in and ensure a more seamless implementation. 

1. Easy Access With SSO

Why It Matters

An SSO, or single sign-on authentication, allows users to easily switch between tools with a single password. Less time is spent managing lost passwords and login issues, allowing more time for deeper teaching and learning. 

Lexia Advantage

• Centralizes logins and access permissions with SSO for instant access 

• Integrates with Clever, ClassLink, Google SSO, and more with one set of credentials

• Supports federal compliance and boosts data security, preventing password fatigue  

2. Automated Rostering That Scales

Why It Matters

Automated rostering saves time by reducing data-entry errors, minimizing overall data maintenance, and providing reliable integration between programs and apps. 

Lexia Advantage 

• Rostering options for all district sizes, including:

  • Manual entry offered for the smallest of numbers or one-offs

  • Spreadsheet or .csv uploads

  • Nightly Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) transfer of .csv files with student, staff, and/or class information

• Clever Secure Sync, Classlink, and OneRoster integration for automated rostering and standardized data sharing

3. Real-time Data Exports for Smarter Decisions

Why It Matters

District leaders and educators need real-time insight to know where students are, how they need help, and if district initiatives are making an impact.  

Lexia Advantage 

• On-demand and automated data exports in myLexia®, a central administrative center, are accessible wherever users log in 

• Report data at the district, school, class, and student levels

• Access to Data Routines and Analysis resources for reporting best practices

4. Ironclad Data Privacy and Security

Why It Matters

Cybersecurity threats are on the rise. Experts say that if a district hasn’t experienced data breaches or ransomware attacks yet, it is likely to do so soon. Technology partners cannot leave districts vulnerable.  

Lexia Advantage

Lexia maintains data governance, privacy, security, and compliance standards so leaders can provide robust tech solutions without compromising sensitive information, including: 

• FERPA and COPPA compliance

•  1EdTech and iKeepSafe Data Privacy Certifications for Lexia® Core5® Reading, Lexia® PowerUp Literacy®, and Lexia® English Language Development™  

• Aligns with cybersecurity standards, including the NIST framework

• Proactive security support to detect unusual activity and ward off potential threats 

5. Best-in-Class Support

Why It Matters

Educators in average districts juggle about 2,700 different types of programs each year with limited on-staff expertise. The right support avoids tech pitfalls and ensures you get the most out of your tech investments.

Lexia Advantage

• 200+ experts available, ranging from data and tech pros to former educators and leaders

• Support levels for all district needs, from self-directed to comprehensive VIP service

• Customer Health Implementation Partner (CHIPS) teams are handpicked to address specific district goals

• End-to-end support, from rollout to renewal
