With the right interventions, students can not only catch up, but leap ahead. K–5 students who began the year behind made the most progress after participating in PowerMyLearning’s program.
Both MathVoice™ (formerly Family Playlists) and our Professional Learning programs meet the Tier 3 – Promising Evidence standard under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). This designation recognizes programs supported by well-designed and well-implemented correlational studies with statistical controls for selection bias.

K-2 math achievement
These gains demonstrate PowerMyLearning’s focus on accelerating learning for all students. Research indicates our program is related to significantly better math achievement for K-2 students, including Black and Hispanic students and students with learning differences, with the most pronounced impact on students who have not yet met grade-level benchmarks at the beginning of the school year.

PowerMyLearning’s approach is informed by decades of research and validated through ongoing partnerships with leading academic institutions and research organizations.
PowerMyLearning is proud to be an Affiliate of the Research Partnership for Professional Learning, collaborating to develop research-backed professional learning that improves student outcomes.
Our professional learning programs are designed and continuously improved based on the latest research on effective teacher development.
PowerMyLearning is a recipient of the prestigious Education Innovation and Research (EIR) grant from the U.S. Department of Education to use MathVoice to improve students’ math performance and social-emotional learning.
PowerMyLearning’s approach is grounded in the comprehensive Foundations of Numeracy framework, which addresses all aspects of mathematical understanding for young learners. This research-backed framework bridges the gap between literacy’s “Science of Reading” movement and mathematical development.

After the pandemic, Jeanne R. Meadows faced significant challenges with student behavior and math achievement. Teachers needed support integrating social emotional learning (SEL) with academic instruction while rebuilding a positive school climate.
Jeanne R. Meadows partnered with PowerMyLearning to implement a comprehensive approach combining SEL-focused professional learning with MathVoice for K-2 students. Teachers participated in ongoing coaching while students and families engaged in weekly math activities.
“The results of our work with PowerMyLearning far exceeded our expectations. As the study shows, students felt empowered to achieve academically.”
“Making SEL a priority built our capacity as a community to help our students thrive. At the end of the school year, we saw a statistically significant difference in the proportion of students who exceeded or met district math benchmarks.”

Teachers struggled to engage families in math learning due to language barriers and families’ discomfort with current math instruction methods. Student math achievement lagged behind district benchmarks.
Teachers implemented MathVoice across grades K-2 with intensive professional learning support. The multilingual platform helped families engage in their home languages, participate in their child’s learning, and share meaningful feedback with teachers.
“One of our goals is to ensure that every scholar has rigorous instruction. PowerMyLearning supports this by providing adaptable, multilingual resources that help students build a strong math tool belt and explain their mathematical thinking both in class and beyond.”

The district aimed to accelerate math learning across multiple schools while rebuilding confidence and closing gaps for students most impacted by the pandemic.
Over three years, PowerMyLearning partnered with 22 schools, delivering professional learning for 75+ school leaders and implementing MathVoice across 50+ sites during summer and school-year programs. This comprehensive approach combined teacher development with strategies that extended learning beyond the classroom.
Students are excited to learn new strategies in math and [MathVoice] gives them confidence when working with a partner or in small groups.
