Too many of our classrooms operate instructionally in ways that are materially indistinguishable from how they worked in the 20th century. New Classrooms is at the forefront of transforming our schools in ways that better enable all children to fulfill their potential.

This is my 29th year in education in some way, shape or form, and we needed to have this conversation for a long time. I appreciate the momentum and how The Iceberg Problem paper is elevating this conversation to a national level.

Our partnership with New Classrooms’ Teach to One Roadmaps will leverage MAP Growth results so teachers can quickly and effectively tailor learning experiences for students so that they can achieve grade-level proficiency.

By focusing much-needed R&D into how we educate our children, New Classrooms is showing that it is possible to innovate and improve one of our nation’s most essential institutions.

The Teach to One approach stands in stark contrast to many education technology implementations that ignore a student’s individual needs and the operations of the classroom. Too often the technology leads.

I want to compliment your organization for moving from its sole focus on teaching and learning into the policy sphere. And thank you very much for having the courage to do this, because I think you have added to the policy debate in a very constructive way.

New Classrooms is a leader in pushing the thinking across the education sector around how to ensure students leave school with the mathematics skills needed to thrive in life, not just to succeed on a test.
