Individualized math program shows promise for pandemic learning recovery
Students in grades 3-8 who used a personalized math tool developed by NWEA and Khan Academy to supplement in-class learning achieved higher-than-projected gains in math, according to results of a study released Tuesday by NWEA, a nonprofit research and assessment organization.
The web-based tool — MAP Accelerator — individualizes math instruction through lessons, videos and practice problems. On average, students in classrooms using MAP Accelerator at the recommended 30 minutes per week exceeded growth projections by 9% to 43%, depending on the students' grade levels. The growth trends were documented at all grade levels and across gender, race and poverty levels.
These initial results not only hold hope as one potential remedy to help students recover from pandemic-related learning loss, but the math activities can contribute to more student engagement, mastery and confidence in the subject, said Sal Khan, founder and CEO of Khan Academy.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource
Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and
other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching
practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
