Effectiveness
TEMPE,
Ariz., June 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Imagine
Learning announced today that Imagine MyPath®, its
diagnostic-driven, personalized learning program for grades K–12,
has earned the Evidence-Based Edtech: ESSA Tier 3 product
certification from Digital Promise. This product certification
serves as a rigorous, reliable signal for district and school
leaders, educators, and families looking for education technology
(edtech) products with a confirmed basis in research about learning
and evidence from a well-designed study that shows the product has
positively impacted learners. Imagine MyPath is one of only three
products to receive product certification in this brand-new
category from Digital Promise.
After review, Digital Promise confirmed that a well-designed
study submitted by Imagine Learning qualified as Tier 3 ESSA
evidence by demonstrating a significant, positive impact on student
outcomes. The study found that kindergarten students who used
Imagine MyPath outperformed comparison students on the NWEA MAP
Growth math assessment. These results add to the portfolio of
research demonstrating that Imagine MyPath positively impacts
student learning. Read the full study.
"Receiving the ESSA Tier 3 certification is an honor and a
testament to Imagine Learning's ongoing commitment to high-quality
evidence-based research in the interest of continuous improvement
and innovation that supports improved outcomes for learners," said
Sarah Anderson, Senior Vice
President & General Manager, Supplemental. "Our goal is not
just to address learning gaps, but to empower educators and
students with the tools they need to exceed their growth
expectations."
Digital Promise launched the Evidence-Based Edtech product
certification in April 2024 to help
educators identify rigorous, research-based products before
introducing them into the classroom. "At Digital Promise, we are
excited to support educational leaders in using evidence to inform
their selection of edtech systems and tools," said Dr. Pati Ruiz, Senior Director of Edtech and
Emerging Technologies at Digital Promise. "These Every Student
Succeeds Act (ESSA)-aligned product certifications will help
educational leaders easily identify edtech products that leverage
evidence-building activities to meet the needs of teachers,
students, and their families."
Today's teachers are tasked with helping diverse learners keep
pace with learning goals. Imagine MyPath offers efficient,
effective intervention support that empowers teachers and saves
them time in differentiating and delivering instruction that
accelerates students back to grade level. Imagine MyPath's
assessment-informed personalized learning paths engage students and
move them forward, faster, through prioritizing essential content
and delivering adaptive lessons at a developmentally appropriate
level. For Back-to-School 2024, Imagine MyPath Math will further
enhance personalized support by adding On-Demand Tutoring, where
