    Rooted in research

    We are equity-focused and rooted in what the learning sciences have shown to be essential elements for creating successful math learning environments and mindsets. Our PD is informed by and embed strategies that research has identified as influential in driving student outcomes.

    For example, educators implement strategies identified by John Hattie’s influential Visible Learning research—all with an effect size larger than .40, or the “hinge point of usefulness” in influencing student achievement. These include self efficacy, classroom discussion, peer-assisted learning, feedback, and more.

    PowerMyLearning fosters student agency, but it also understands the value, strength, and opportunity that come when relationships are created, challenged, and ultimately transformed. PowerMyLearning is, more than anything, a relationship-based organization that puts students first.

    I feel like my class is more entertaining and engaging after having the opportunity to be coached by [PowerMyLearning coach]. He has been an awesome thought partner. It's been really good to have someone to talk to that has actually experienced the lessons that I've given.
