The 74 Million – Tim Newcomb
“Imagine a team of curriculum advisors and monitors holed up in a bunker working exclusively on your student’s math class, matching learning goals, skill libraries and achievements with the related coursework. And then doing the same for every other student. That’s the reality of Teach To One: Math from New Classrooms, except, of course, there’s no bunker, as this New York-based organization uses algorithms and classroom-specific information to organize daily math curriculum for 10,000 students per day. Born as a pilot project in the New York City Department of Education, co-founder Christopher Rush tells The 74 he’s taken Teach To One: Math in an entirely fresh direction. What was once just a set of skills, a linear progression, was reconfigured from the ground up — no longer a linear idea, but instead a web of skills that encompasses year-round curriculum for each student.”(more)
