Project Title

For advancing changes in education policy and practice

Date

Mar. 05, 2020

Duration

12 months

Description

High variability of student performance and learning styles necessitatesstudent-centered models that customize learning for each student. New Classrooms Innovation Partners (New Classrooms) addresses this challenge by creating personalized instructional programs that transform the way teaching and learning happens. New Classrooms has illustrated its effectiveness in amplifying learning and achievement in middle school mathematics through its Teach to One: Math (TTO) model, with the most recent study showing that students in schools using TTO for three years saw 23 percent greater gains than students nationally on the Northwest Evaluation Association’s Measures of Academic Progress assessment. Prior Corporation investments enabled New Classrooms to refine the TTO model, enter the K-12 policy field, and produce and disseminate a white paper focused on the tension between grade level expectations and meeting individual student needs. Continued support from the Corporation will allow New Classrooms to continue refining the TTO model through rigorous data analytics and pursue a more expansive body of work translating findings on innovative learning models to state and federal policy.

Description

High variability of student performance levels and learning styles creates a critical need for student-centered models that facilitate learning and progress customized for individuals. New Classrooms Innovation Partners (New Classrooms) addresses this challenge by creating personalized instructional programs that transform the ways in which time, talent, and the physical classroom space are utilized. New Classrooms has illustrated its effectiveness in amplifying learning and achievement in mathematics, with studies showing that participating students grew at a rate of one and a half times the national average growth rate on the Northwest Evaluation Association’s Measures of Academic Progress assessment. Additionally, New Classrooms has engaged in rigorous data analysis to better serve educators and students and share findings with the broader K-12 field. Renewed support from the Corporation will enable New Classrooms to strengthen its model, further develop a research base to understand the science of learning, and influence policy and practice in the science of learning and personalized learning models.

Description

There is an emerging literature that suggests that personalized and mastery-based learning experiences are beneficial to long-term student success, and many innovative education organizations have begun to forge paths to new models and programs that incorporate these design principles. However, the lessons that emerge from these models often remain contained to the sites in which the provider is operating. Technology-enabled approaches, through the existence of extant data, provide unique opportunities to explore student learning trajectories, conditions, and modalities and share these learnings more broadly. New Classrooms Innovation Partners (New Classrooms) has demonstrated success in implementing a technology-enabled, personalized, mastery-based approach for teaching middle school math, elevating student achievement across all sub-groups via their Teach to One: Math (TTO) model. Now, building on this success and the myriad data points it has generated, New Classrooms will undertake field-building research and policy activities in order to catalyze systemic change while also improving and iterating upon the TTO model.
