Discover the Power of Learning by Teaching

How Family Playlists Work
Family Playlists leverage the research-based learning by teaching strategy to create meaningful learning experiences and deepen relationships between students, teachers, and families
Teachers Discover Quality Content
Teachers assign pre-built, standards-aligned playlists. Families access via text in their home language (no sign-in required).
Students Teach Their Families
Students review concepts and teach their family partners what they learned in class by leading a collaborative, offline learning activity.
Families and Teachers Connect on Student Learning
Families send feedback to the teacher, providing valuable insight into the student as a whole child and an open door to meaningful family-teacher dialogue around learning.
Why Choose Family Playlists?
Improve Student Outcomes
A recent study found that Family Playlists had a statistically significant impact on students’ math test scores, equivalent to four months of additional learning.
Create Equitable Learning Experiences
Family Playlists harness the strength that families bring as learning partners. Assignments can be delivered via a mobile browser (no sign-in required) in 100+ languages, which makes it easy for all families to fully participate and ensures seamless two-way communication between families and teachers.
Engage Families in Meaningful Conversations About Student Learning
With Family Playlists, teachers gain valuable feedback from students’ families. Coupled with assessment data collected within the Family Playlist, teachers learn more about their students as whole children and can open a meaningful dialogue with families around learning.
