DreamBox
Learning®, the company that pioneered Intelligent
Adaptive Learning™ technology used in schools and districts across the
U.S., Mexico, and Canada, today announced that EdTech
Breakthrough, a leading market intelligence organization that
recognizes the top companies and solutions in the global educational
technology market, has selected DreamBox Learning as the winner of its
“Best Math Learning Solution” award in the inaugural EdTech Breakthrough
Awards program. DreamBox was chosen from a total field of 1,500 EdTech
Breakthrough Award nominees for its personalized approach to improving
student math achievement.
DreamBox Learning K-8 Math™ is an adaptive, digital program that
complements classroom instruction while delivering results for students,
teachers, and administrators. DreamBox has a challenging,
standards-aligned curriculum, available in English
and Spanish, that is proven to promote student growth. The program
provides scaffolded lessons and learning pathways that adapt not only
based on students’ answers, but also based on how they solve problems.
Independent research
shows that students who use DreamBox for just one hour a week improve
their math scores nearly 60 percent more than expected growth norms on
benchmark and state tests. DreamBox is also the only elementary online
math program with the highest rating of “Strong” from Johns Hopkins’
EvidenceforESSA.org.
“At DreamBox, our team of experienced classroom teachers, software
engineers, and creative designers creates innovative digital tools and
lessons that address students’ unique learning needs while empowering
them to confidently understand math at a deeper level,” said Tim Hudson,
Ph.D., Chief Learning Officer at DreamBox. “We are humbled and proud
that the industry is honoring our proven impact on student achievement,
and we’re eager to continue providing students with fun learning
experiences while also providing teachers and administrators the
essential data insights that they need to support all students as they
grow in their learning and love of math.”
DreamBox Learning K-8 Math is the only adaptive math curriculum powered
by students, built by and for educators, and independently proven by
multiple third parties to positively impact student achievement. Today,
over 3 million students and 130,000 educators experience the real-time
impact of DreamBox’s adaptive learning technology.
“DreamBox’s development and execution on its Intelligent Adaptive
Learning™ technology platform is a shining example of a ‘breakthrough’
edtech solution that we look to recognize in our annual awards program,”
said James Johnson, managing director, EdTech Breakthrough. “STEM
education is such a critical component in preparing today’s students for
tomorrow’s opportunities, and DreamBox serves as a powerful partner –
available for every classroom, school, and district – in this mission.
Congratulations to the DreamBox team on their incredible success and
momentum this year. We are thrilled to recognize the company with a 2019
EdTech Breakthrough Award.”
DreamBox’s EdTech Breakthrough win is the latest in a series of honors
DreamBox and its CEO and President Jessie Woolley-Wilson have received
this year. In May, DreamBox was named a finalist in EdTech
Digest’s 2019 EdTech Awards for the “Cool Tool Award” in multiple
