INTRODUCTION

We are excited to share this year’s report as Owl Ventures looks ahead to the next decade of education innovation. We launched in 2014 with a simple yet ambitious vision: to partner with and scale the world’s most transformative education companies. We believed in the power of technology to reshape learning and workforce development for billions of people. Eleven years later, that belief has only deepened.

Asia and Africa continue to lead in digital adoption, with governments investing heavily in national online learning infrastructures. Europe now accounts for nearly a third of edtech deals.

Owl’s international expansion, with a London hub and active investments across Asia, Europe, LATAM, and Africa, reflects our conviction that the future of education is not only borderless but interconnected.

With more than $2.2 billion in assets under management, global offices, and over 100+ portfolio companies, Owl Ventures remains the world’s largest venture capital firm dedicated to education technology—impacting more than 700+ million users worldwide.

M&A activity continues to accelerate, with a wave of consolidation and strategic partnerships in the past year. Cross-border acquisitions are fueling international scale, while partnerships between edtech companies and traditional institutions are creating new blended models of delivery. These dynamics signal a maturing market—one that is sustainable, resilient, and increasingly attractive to investors and operators alike.

Globally, the education and training market remains one of the fastest growing, on track to surpass $10 trillion by 2030.

INTRODUCTION

Finally, AI has moved beyond experimentation to become foundational in classrooms, universities, and enterprises. The global AI in education market is projected to grow by more than $53 billion in the next decade, driven by adaptive tutoring, automated content creation, and workforce reskilling platforms. Educators are saving hours each week with AI copilots, while students are receiving personalized learning support at scale. AI is shifting routine tasks away from teachers, creating space for deeper focus on mentorship, critical thinking, and wellbeing. Looking ahead, we remain steadfast in our mission: to improve education outcomes at scale. The megatrends of AI, global digitization, and lifelong learning are not only reshaping education, but also guiding our investment strategy.

THE ROLE OF AI IN EDUCATION Education is entering one of the most profound transformations in its history, and artificial intelligence is at its core. What was once speculative is now routine: recent surveys show that 40% of US teachers favor the use of AI tools in K-12 schools and 32% of US teachers use AI tools weekly for lesson planning, grading, and differentiated instruction. In higher education, AI tutors, language supports, and research copilots are boosting productivity, while startups are scaling adaptive learning, career navigation, and credentialing platforms. The workforce dimension underscores the urgency. The World Economic Forum projects that 44% of workers’ skills will be disrupted within five years, intensifying demand for AI-enabled reskilling. For institutions, constrained budgets and accountability pressures make personalization, efficiency, and measurable outcomes the defining adoption drivers.

THREE CONVERGING FORCES MAKE 2025 AN INFLECTION POINT:

• Technology readiness: AI models have matured to a level of reliability suitable for safe classroom and workplace use.

• Demand pull: teachers, institutions, and employers are actively seeking solutions to workload challenges and widening skills gaps.

• Policy momentum: governments are funding AI literacy and digital equity initiatives, exemplified by the White House AI Pledge (signed by 60+ companies) and the EU’s AI Act, which mandates transparency, accountability, and learner safeguards.

OWL VENTURES EDUCATION OUTCOMES REPORT 2025 |

INTRODUCTION

Industry is aligning with policy. Leaders such as OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, and IBM are investing in large-scale professional development, free curriculum resources, and mentorship networks to build teacher capacity. The shift is empowering teachers with tools that extend equity, trust, and outcomes at scale. The White House’s AI in Education pledge unlocked hundreds of millions in new investment. Owl portfolio companies are at the forefront: Studyfetch partnered with NVIDIA as part of the White House’s AI in Education pledge, to create content offerings to meet the instructional needs of the US K-12 classrooms. The CHIPS & Science Act allocated $13 billion toward workforce reskilling, and Interplay Learning has been actively participating in White House and Department of Education convenings on workforce readiness.

For investors, this is not a cyclical trend but a structural shift. Education is at an inflection point where AI adoption is both inevitable and accelerating. The winners will be companies that partner with educators and institutions to responsibly embed AI into learning systems worldwide.

INTRODUCTION

EMERGING TRENDS IN 2025

PRIORITIZING MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLBEING

CONSOLIDATED, DATA-DRIVEN PLATFORMS

The future of learning is integrated, not fragmented. Education systems are shifting from standalone tools to connected platforms that align curriculum, data, and operations. This convergence reduces friction across classrooms and institutions, accelerates intervention and decision cycles, and drives measurable gains in efficiency and learner outcomes. Owl portfolio company Kiddom exemplifies this shift, building coherent instructional ecosystems for districts nationwide.

Mental health has been recentered in educational infrastructure. Rising stress, disengagement, and digital overload are driving schools, universities, and employers to embed Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and wellbeing into core platforms. AI is increasingly used to monitor and support resilience at scale. Owl portfolio companies like Hazel Health, AnswersNow, and Panorama Education are making mental health and health care access integral to student and workforce success.

• The average district manages 1,300+ tools monthly, yet integration remains low, limiting data flow and insight. (Project Unicorn)

• Across 2021–2025, overall district interoperability maturity rose to 47% (up from 42% in 2023) indicating slow but steady improvement toward unified systems. (Project Unicorn)

• 72% of district leaders express confidence in selecting HQIM, yet only 59% have processes to evaluate its effectiveness, highlighting the limitation of assessing print-based materials without integrated digital data. (EdReports)

• 97% of public schools reported offering at least one type of mental health service to their students In the 2024-2025 school year, and 18% of students utilized school-based mental health services. (KFF)
• The use of telehealth to deliver mental health treatment has increased from 17% to 22% between the 2021-2022 and 2024-2025 school years. (KFF)
• The global corporate wellness market size was valued at USD 53 billion in 2022, with North America accounting for 39.4% of the total revenue. (Grand View Research)

EMERGING TRENDS

EMERGING TRENDS IN 2025

Global Expansion: MENA as a Gateway to Sub-Saharan Africa

Outcomes-Based Contracting

• 60% of MENA’s population is under 30, driving demand for scalable, digital-first education. (UNDP)

• Africa’s working-age population will double by 2050, and the number of Africans with an upper-secondary or tertiary education will also more than double, from 103 million in 2020 to 240 million in 2040. (UNESCO).

• Government initiatives are a driving force in the MENA edtech market. Under its Vision 2030 agenda, Saudi Arabia allocated $53 billion to education, while education continues to represent the largest sector in Morocco’s national budget.

• 60 LEAs, ESAs, and SEAs across 25 states include outcomes-based elements in edtech contracts. (OBC, SEF)

• In 2024, participating districts achieved 65% of all contracted outcomes, underscoring how outcome-based contracting aligns incentives, rewards effectiveness, and strengthens accountability for public investment. (OBC, SEF)

MENA is one of the fastest-growing edtech regions, fueled by sovereign wealth funds, AI literacy mandates, and national digitization agendas. With more than 60% of the population under 30˛, MENA is not only scaling rapidly but also serving as a launchpad for cross-border growth into˛ Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Owl portfolio companies like Interplay Learning, uLesson, and Amira Learning are seizing this opportunity to reach young, mobile-first learners.

Procurement is shifting from inputs to results. Districts, universities, and employers are adopting contracts tied to measurable outcomes—such as skills mastery, graduation rates, or job placement. This model aligns incentives, rewards efficacy, and ensures accountability for public and private investment. Owl portfolio company Amira Learning has paved the way with performance-based contracts in literacy, signaling a durable move toward evidence-driven procurement.

Dr. Katie Jenner, Indiana’s Secretary of Education, and Dr. Scott Muri, Superintendent Emeritus of Ector County ISD (TX), testified before the Senate in September 2025, highlighting how the Outcomes-Based Contracting (OBC) model is being positioned as a lever for student success.

Workforce Education Surge via Nano-Credentials

EARLY-STAGE INNOVATION MEETS M&A CONSOLIDATION

As AI reshapes labor markets, modular and stackable nano-credentials are becoming essential to reskilling workers in weeks, not years. Platforms now map skills, personalize journeys, and verify outcomes at scale, offering rapid ROI for employers and affordable mobility for workers. Owl portfolio companies like Workera and StudyFetch are leading the way with AI-driven skill assessment and learning pathways.

Edtech is experiencing a dual dynamic: robust AI-first innovation at the seed and Series A level, alongside accelerating consolidation by larger players integrating content, distribution, and data. This signals a maturing market where experimentation fuels breakthroughs, while M&A scales proven solutions.

• The alternative-credentials market for higher education is forecasted to grow by $1.83 billion between 2024 and 2029. (TechNavio)

• 97% employers are already using or actively exploring skills-based hiring (a 20-point jump since 2023. (Lumina Foundation)

• Policy commitment to credentials is rising as 34 states passed 92 state laws since 2020 focused on credentials. (Advance CTE)

• Over 340 edtech M&A deals closed globally in 2024, totaling a disclosed value of $28 billion. (HolonIQ)

• Workforce development and corporate training have emerged as leading segments. (Tyton Partners)

EMERGING TRENDS

Owl’s Approach to Outcomes Measurement

At Owl, we recognize that prioritizing impact is a fundamental requirement for building long-lasting businesses. We work with portfolio companies to measure impact in three primary areas: scale and access, diversity, and outcomes.

POST-SECONDARY AND CAREER MOBILITY

INTERNATIONAL

Internationally, alongside factors like household income and geography, access gaps are also attributed to cultural norms, religion, and caste or class systems. For example, in India, according to the latest census, there is a wide gap between rates of female literacy (65%) and male literacy (82%), which further widens in the rural parts of the country. In Latin America, the education gap mirrors the income gap between rich and poor. Where possible, our companies track comparison data on urban and rural populations served, including income levels of users, gender, and age ranges.

A 2019 McKinsey & Company study reported that labor-market outcomes vary across demographic groups and that Latinx and African American workers are four times more likely to hold “automatable” jobs. The same study also highlighted the nearly 11.5 million workers over 50 years of age who hold at-risk jobs. To allow education to serve as an equalizer, we encourage companies to collect data on measures such as gender, income level, level of education, cities their customers are from, and racial profiles for their customers, where possible.

Learner Scale And Access

To achieve greater equity and inclusion in education, there must be increased efforts to collect and analyze data on the most-excluded segments of the population. Owl works with companies to understand their customer profiles and to ensure that the products they are building have the ability to scale without locking out high-need communities. Within the US context, metrics to measure access differ by company sector, business model, and key stakeholders.

PRE-K-12

For example, a K-12 company that sells directly to schools and districts can report on the percentage of students who qualify for Free and Reduced Lunch (FRL: A proxy for poverty, based on family income) in customer districts, English Language Learners (ELLs) served, as well as demographic data of students by race. However, an early learning company that sells directly to customers may not be able to leverage FRL or ELL data to measure access. Instead, it might track access through the number of parents and communities served by geography, product price point, and types of devices its product is available on.

EMERGING TRENDS

Owl’s Approach to Outcomes Measurement

OUTCOMES

Owl recognizes that each portfolio company addresses a unique challenge within the education market. As a result (similar to the way we think about access), we help each portfolio company identify and measure specific outcomes that are in line with its product goals.

We recognize different types of research are appropriate to determine effectiveness according to product type and development stage. Therefore, we encourage our portfolio companies to report their impact along a spectrum, from formative research to summative research. Using this spectrum, early-stage companies might showcase their impact through user testimonials and descriptive case studies; conversely, a more mature company will be able to provide rigorous research data, through participation in causal, comparative, or randomized controlled trial studies. At the core, we want to help companies answer one fundamental question: Does your product have a positive outcome for its intended users? Owl classifies companies in three primary-education-focused industries: pre-K-12, postsecondary education, and career mobility. The report is organized by these industries. For each company, you will find a description of the company; the company’s approach to measuring effectiveness; and its access and outcomes data, told via metrics and case studies.

DIVERSITY

The benefits of diversity are well-documented. Prioritizing diverse leadership and concrete HR policies are also crucial for employee retention, better decision-making, and strong work cultures. McKinsey & Company’s research found that companies in the top quartile for both gender and ethnic diversity in executive teams are on average 9 percent more likely to outperform their peers. In another study, researchers found when diverse teams of three or more people made a business decision, they outperformed individual decision-makers up to 87% of the time. Diverse teams were also shown to make decisions faster than individual workers, and they, too, benefited from a 60% improvement in decision-making.

At Owl, we recognize that lack of diversity in teams is a problem since homogenous communities are susceptible to groupthink and are less likely to voice the needs of the communities they hope to serve. As part of our annual diversity survey, we collect metrics such as gender, race, pay equity, and employee retention for women and persons of color for each of our portfolio companies, where applicable.

PRE–K–12

As an example, a pre-K-12 content company will measure its impact using outcomes, such as student achievement on standardized tests or socio-emotional skills developed; whereas other pre-K-12 companies might track metrics such as chronic absenteeism and teacher time saved.

POST-SECONDARY AND CAREER MOBILITY

A career-mobility company, on the other hand, will measure its impact using outcome metrics, like graduation rates, scholarships received, job-placement numbers, and salaries earned. These metrics are similar to those used by the career-mobility sector, which is focused on reskilling and upskilling.

Amira’s Impact Across the US

Clayton County Public Schools Validates Amira’s Role in Accelerating Literacy Growth

Clayton County Public Schools (CCPS), Georgia’s sixth-largest district, serves over 52,000 students—98.5% students of color and 62.5% economically-disadvantaged. CHALLENGE Facing widening early literacy gaps post-pandemic, CCPS sought a scalable, evidence-based solution grounded in the Science of Reading. SOLUTION CCPS adopted Amira Assess and Tutor districtwide to deliver real-time diagnostics and personalized, curriculum-aligned practice. Tara Elementary served as a model site, integrating Amira into daily routines with support through self-paced onboarding, tailored professional development, and regular data reviews with a dedicated success manager.

RESULTS

• Students using Amira consistently (4+ times/week for 6+ weeks) achieved 18.7 weeks of growth in just 15.7 weeks—surpassing typical progress by over three months.

• Over 5 million minutes of reading were logged districtwide in summer 2025; Tara Elementary alone logged 1 million minutes.

• These outcomes support CCPS’s goal of a 10% annual increase in reading proficiency.

Amira enabled CCPS to scale effective, equitable literacy support across all elementary schools. By pairing intelligent tutoring with the Science of Reading, the district demonstrated measurable gains and year-round engagement.

RESULT

• Using Abl’s scheduling and optimization tools:

• Administrators gave teachers time for collaborative planning.

• Case managers and ELL staff prioritized support where most needed.

• Students accessed four-year pathways in advanced STEM or CTE certification.

• Leaders implemented strategies to close performance gaps.

Between the cohorts of 2021 and 2024, PPS students taking three or more years in a single career pathway increased from 28%-37% (a 9-percentage point increase). District leaders and secondary school administrators are working to expand CTE Pathways for student access to AP and IB courses and broaden their portfolio of college dual credit courses.

PORTLAND PUBLIC SCHOOLS MAXIMIZES RESOURCES THROUGH STRATEGIC SCHEDULING

“I think all school leaders are interested in figuring out how to make our commitments to students tangible and operational. How do we actually make improvements? This is the answer: data-driven analysis, intelligent scheduling, and policy and practice adjustments in order to increase student success in high school and beyond.” – Dr. Filip Hristić, Senior Director for High School Academics

CHALLENGE Portland Public Schools (PPS), Oregon’s largest district, aimed to boost college and career readiness but relied on outdated, manual scheduling systems. These scheduling systems consumed hundreds of staff hours, reinforced inequities in advanced coursework access, and lacked strategic use of data. The COVID-19 pandemic exposed and intensified these inefficiencies, creating urgency for more flexible, equitable, and recovery-focused scheduling approaches. SOLUTIONS PPS adopted Abl’s Academic Schedule Optimizer and Educational Opportunity Analysis (now Integrated Insights by BetterLesson) to transform both scheduling and strategic planning.

These tools helped:

• Visualize how schedules impact students and staff.

• Identify inequities in course access.
• Predict college/career readiness using AIM (Academic Intensity Measure).
• Support site-level goal setting and coaching.
• Empower counselors to proactively enroll students in advanced coursework.

Together, these solutions enabled the district to turn data into decisions, streamline scheduling, and target interventions to close opportunity gaps.

BARBERS HILL ISD SCALES THOUGHTFUL AI ADOPTION DISTRICT-WIDE

CHALLENGE Barbers Hill ISD sought to introduce AI tools that would enhance teaching while seamlessly fitting into instructional routines. With nearly 8,000 students and over 600 teachers across eight campuses, the district needed a simple, unobtrusive solution that could make a real, lasting impact. SOLUTIONS The district implemented Brisk through a phased approach that prioritized engagement with both teachers and the community. Brisk’s seamless integration with Google Workspace allowed for educators’ tools like Google Docs, Slides, and YouTube to be used without disruption or platform fatigue. Educators used Brisk to improve and streamline instruction, feedback, and support for multilingual learners.

RESULTS Brisk enabled broader teacher adoption of AI, making inroads even with hesitant educators. Teachers reported increased efficiency and instructional support, while improving student engagement across the board. AI became a trusted instructional ally, not a distraction.

“Brisk has streamlined my workflow tremendously. I can now focus more on actual teaching and less on managing technology or finding tutorial content for my students. The data analytics feature has given me unprecedented insights into each student's progress, allowing me to provide timely, targeted support.” – Kristy Francis, 8th grade Curriculum and Instruction Team Lead.

“Some of those who were resistant to AI are now taking the charge. Brisk is empowering teachers who are sometimes more hesitant to try some of the hard things… It's making them feel so comfortable that they're able to use it in their classroom and then also teach other teachers about it. I think it just shines the value of how easy it is to use and how it's making them feel empowered.” – Brianne Brandt, a Technology Integration Coach.

SCALING MATH ACHIEVEMENT FROM CLASSROOM AND SCHOOL TO DISTRICT AND STATE WITH DERIVITA

CHALLENGE Districts across Utah faced the dual challenge of improving math outcomes while navigating tight budgets and fragmented edtech ecosystems. Educators needed a way to deliver rigorous instruction, personalized feedback, and real-time insights—without adding platform fatigue or administrative burden. SOLUTIONS Utah leveraged Derivita, a math platform approved by the Utah Education Network (UEN) and the Utah STEM Action Center. Derivita directly integrates into existing LMS platforms, enabling teachers to deliver standards-aligned instruction, streamline grading, and track student progress—all from within the tools they already use.

RESULTS Since 2021, usage has grown more than 365%, spanning over 190 schools and more than 80% of Utah districts—from large urban systems to small rural communities. Derivita helped schools improve Median Growth Percentile (MGP)—a key equity-aligned metric:

• In a high-need Title I middle school, MGP rose from 33 to 42 and proficiency from 25.3% to 28.8%.

• In a large, high-performing high school, MGP jumped from 55 to 71, and proficiency from 27.5% to 38.5%.

Utah’s standout performance on the 2024 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) provides important context for Derivita’s statewide growth:

• Utah scored 10 points above the national average in 8th-grade math.

• 35% of students performed at or above the NAEP Proficient level (vs. 28% nationally).

• 70% reached Basic or above (vs. 59% nationally).

• Utah was one of the few states with no statistically significant post-pandemic learning loss.

Duval County Public Schools: Expanding Access to Mental Health Through Telehealth

Duval County Public Schools (DCPS) is the 6th largest district in Florida, serving 128K+ students, 53% of whom are economically disadvantaged. CHALLENGE In recent years, particularly following the COVID-19 pandemic, many DCPS students have turned to unreliable sources like AI chatbots or social media for physical and mental health support. This highlighted a critical gap in accessible, high-quality mental health care. DCPS recognized the need for an innovative, scalable, stigma-free, and accessible solution to address absenteeism, behavioral incidents, and high-acuity student needs.

SOLUTION DCPS embedded Hazel Health’s teletherapy into its multi-tiered system of support (MTSS), ensuring in-school and at-home access to licensed providers.Services prioritized:

• Students in alternative and virtual schools

• Rapid crisis response with 24/7 hotline and suicide risk assessment

• Seamless integration with school-based and community providers

• Privacy and flexibility for families

RESULTS BEHAVIOR

• 52% reduction in incidents post-therapy
• 45% fewer incidents compared to peers
• 21% drop in severe cases (3+ referrals in 100 days)

ATTENDANCE

• 46% moved from chronic absence to satisfactory/at risk

• 20% less likely to remain chronically absent vs peers

• 41% reduction in absences after therapy

BOOSTING FIRST-GRADE LITERACY WITH VIRTUAL TUTORING: THE IMPACT OF IGNITE READING IN MASSACHUSETTS

Massachusetts districts have faced persistent early literacy gaps, especially in schools with high concentrations of students in poverty. Schools struggled to deliver differentiated, data-driven support for struggling readers, with individualized instruction limited by capacity constraints. Districts needed a scalable, high-impact solution that could incorporate the Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) framework. In the 2023–24 school year, 13 Massachusetts school districts utilized Ignite Reading to deliver 1:1 virtual tutoring to 1,800+ first-graders. The program used progress-monitoring data, foundational skills instruction, and structured protocols grounded in Science of Reading principles.

An independent evaluation by Johns Hopkins University showed significant literacy gains across all student groups, particularly among Black students and English learners. These results highlighted Ignite Reading’s effectiveness as a tool for closing early literacy gaps. Ignite Reading students saw:

• +1.19 SD average effect size across all students, compared to national norms

• 5.4 months of additional learning on average

• Students at benchmark increased from 16% to 50%

• Students needing intensive intervention decreased from 64% to 28%

• Students with over 85% attendance gained +1.22 SD, showing stronger growth

“As a principal, I appreciate the training our Ignite tutors receive, the precision and consistency in which the program is executed, and the responsiveness of the Ignite Administrative Team if any issues arise. I also appreciate the intelligence of the Ignite (literacy specialist) when it comes to analyzing data and making connections to barriers that students may be encountering so we can address them in a timely manner.” – School principal

Significant ELA Gains in Robeson County with EL Education Powered by Kiddom

ELA Proficiency Growth for Economically Disadvantaged Students, Grades 3–5

CHALLENGE Robeson County Schools, a rural North Carolina district serving ~21K students across 37 schools, needed to improve ELA outcomes for all students while ensuring equitable access to high-quality instructional resources. Nearly 90% of students identify as a racial/ethnic minority, and 68% qualify for free or reduced lunch; the district faced systemic challenges in literacy achievement. SOLUTIONS For the 2022–23 school year, the district implemented EL Education Powered by Kiddom across all schools. Kiddom’s platform enhanced usability for teachers of all experience levels, enabling evidence-based curriculum delivery with fidelity and confidence.

RESULTS Economically disadvantaged students in Grades 3-5 saw notable ELA gains following full adoption, with proficiency increases ranging from 5.8% to 6.5% across all three grades. These gains demonstrate meaningful academic growth among traditionally underserved students and highlight Kiddom’s ability to increase access and impact for all learners.

How East Orange School District Filled Gaps in Core Curriculum and Engaged Students With Newsela Social Studies

East Orange School District (EOSD) is a diverse, suburban K-12 district in New Jersey. When district leaders were evaluating needs for resources across subjects, they identified a lack of content for social studies. CHALLENGE The district sought to improve student engagement and academic achievement by moving toward a curriculum that represents diverse perspectives and current events. SOLUTIONS East Orange partnered with Newsela to integrate authentic, accessible, and standards-aligned content across middle and high school classrooms. The platform allowed educators to:

• Select differentiated, real-world texts that aligned with instructional goals
• Incorporate current events into lessons
• Promote student agency and voice in the classroom

RESULTS Teachers and students have embraced Newsela Social Studies as an engaging tool to build knowledge and skills. With its success in social studies, East Orange ELA teachers also began using Newsela ELA in their classrooms. In total, more than 9,000 students and over 650 teachers at EOSD have used Newsela’s products. Students demonstrated increased engagement and participation

• Teachers reported greater flexibility and relevance in lesson planning
• The district created a more equitable and inclusive learning experience tied to civic understanding and cultural responsiveness

“With Newsela Social Studies, I no longer hear complaints [about curricular gaps] from teachers. They're able to find the content needed to engage students and differentiate the texts so they can have rich conversations.” — Paulette Salomon, Director of Teaching and Learning and Innovative Projects, EOSD

How West Carrollton Uses Secure AI to Auto-Fill 90 Reading State Plans Per Teacher—and Reclaim Time for Instruction

West Carrollton City Schools in Ohio partnered with Panorama Education to improve school climate, student engagement, and overall well-being through a data-informed approach. CHALLENGE The district sought to better understand and address students’ social-emotional learning (SEL) needs, improve attendance, and create a more inclusive and supportive school environment. They needed a way to gather actionable feedback from students, families, and staff to guide improvement efforts. SOLUTIONS Using Panorama’s survey tools and data dashboards, the district collected insights on SEL, engagement, and school climate. Educators used these insights to shape targeted interventions, professional development, and school-wide initiatives, fostering a culture of continuous improvement.

RESULTS West Carrollton improved attendance, reduced chronic absenteeism, and saw stronger SEL outcomes. Teachers reported greater student engagement, and families noted clearer communication and support. The district also streamlined behavior documentation, improved compliance, delivered secure, standards-aligned lesson plans, and fostered more intentional AI use.

• 4–5 admin hours saved per quarter through auto-filled state reports

• Up to 90 RIMPs auto-filled, easing teacher workload at back-to-school

The district will continue leveraging Panorama’s data to track progress, expand SEL, and ensure every student is supported academically, socially, and emotionally.

“Solara saves so much time for the teacher. There’s a fine line between meaningful and menial work,” Julie reflected. “We have to keep thinking, creating, and connecting as professionals. But if AI can help us do that by taking care of the repetitive tasks, we should let it—responsibly.” – Julie Jones, former Curriculum Director, West Carrollton City School

The district needed an inclusive, modern communication solution to connect families and schools. CHALLENGE TPS struggled to reach its multilingual families. Inconsistent methods left gaps in safety updates, academic information, and engagement opportunities. SOLUTIONS TPS adopted ParentSquare as its all-in-one communication platform. By consolidating outreach into one consistent system, the district made it easier for principals, teachers, and staff to reach families in their home languages and strengthen relationships across the community.

RESULTS With ParentSquare, TPS has transformed family communication and is seeing measurable impact across the district:

• Reached 99% contactability across 8,400 students, with two schools already at 100%

• District leaders are now driving toward 100% contactability systemwide

• Built stronger trust with families across the community

• Improved access for multilingual households

• Ensured important messages reach every parent quickly and reliably

TPS continues working toward 100% contactability and plans to deepen its use of ParentSquare to foster equity, strengthen family partnerships, and support student success across its diverse community.

FROM FALLING BEHIND TO FLYING AHEAD WITH SPLASHLEARN

Different Needs, Same Program

SplashLearn caters to the needs of all types of learners – whether they’re struggling to keep up or hungry for a bigger challenge. Here is a tale of two learners — one anxious, one unchallenged. Both found their way through SplashLearn.

Lina used the program to move beyond her assigned coursework and dive deeper in math.

Kai started on a regular routine of 4–5 sessions a week. The structure gave him room to build confidence at his own pace.

The balance of structure and autonomy allowed both students to make progress on two very different paths using the same program.

MEET KAI

Meet LINA

Outcomes

Kai’s attitude shifted, and he showed real pride in getting things right. His grades moved from B’s and C’s to A’s, and he made the honor roll by the end of the year.

Lina felt seen and stimulated. She began mentally designing new games and challenges based on what she was learning.

A second grader who was excelling so much that the standard second-grade material had started to feel stale.

A third grader who was struggling with math and needed more individual attention than the classroom could offer.

Both parents turned to SplashLearn, hoping to support their children’s needs.

What makes SplashLearn work isn’t just curriculum alignment or game design. It’s that the program adapts to real kids. For Kai and Lina, the change was not just in scores—but in their relationship with learning. It became something they enjoyed, owned and looked forward to.

HanseMerkur Enhances Employee Well-Being with ubiMaster

HanseMerkur, one of Germany’s leading insurance providers, is known for combining innovation with tradition. In 2021, the company expanded its commitment to employee satisfaction by introducing a new internal benefit: unlimited access to online tutoring via ubiMaster for employees’ children and company trainees. CHALLENGE As part of its strategy to better support work-life balance, HanseMerkur aimed to reduce the educational pressure many working parents face—particularly the time, cost, and stress associated with academic support at home.

SOLUTION Since November 2021, HanseMerkur’s 1,500+ employees have received free access to ubiMaster’s on-demand tutoring platform. The service covers math, German, English, physics, and chemistry. It’s available seven days a week for students in grades 5-13 and for trainees. With just a tap in the app, students are connected 1:1 with qualified tutors—easing the burden on parents and improving academic support at home. RESULT HanseMerkur has seen above-average registration and usage rates among all corporate customers. Parents note reduced stress at home, more peaceful homework routines, and a strong appreciation for the financial relief of free tutoring. Children report greater confidence in difficult subjects and praise the responsiveness of their tutors.

• 4.2 out of 5-star average satisfaction rating
• 63% of families reported meaningful relief with homework and learning
• 66% said learning is easier or more relaxed since using the platform
• 100% of surveyed users said the platform is easy to use and beneficial

By integrating ubiMaster into its employee benefit program, HanseMerkur has strengthened its culture of appreciation and support. The initiative has proven to be more than a perk—it’s a strategic investment in employee satisfaction, family well-being, and long-term organizational health.

NORTHERN VIRGINIA COMMUNITY COLLEGE ELEVATES EQUITABLE ONLINE LEARNING WITH HONORLOCK

CHALLENGE Northern Virginia Community College (NOVA), the second-largest multi-campus community college in the U.S., serves over 80,000 students across a wide range of learning modalities. A 34% increase in online asynchronous enrollment over three years revealed the need for a scalable, student-centered proctoring solution—one that could uphold flexibility, accessibility, and academic integrity at scale. SOLUTION NOVA integrated Honorlock’s AI and Live Pop-In® proctoring directly within Canvas, giving faculty flexible controls and real-time, human-validated integrity alerts. The platform reduced student anxiety, improved accessibility, and provided responsive 24/7 support that aligns with NOVA’s mission to deliver equitable, high-quality education.

RESULTS Honorlock helped NOVA reframe proctoring as a tool for trust and transformation. It reduced friction for students, restored faculty confidence in exam integrity, and elevated the online learning experience across a rapidly growing and diverse academic community.

“We’re empowering both students and faculty with a better, more human-centered proctoring experience. It’s the empathy that sets Honorlock apart. Our students are anxious enough; having someone actually respond and care made all the difference.” – Caryn Sever, Director of Instructional Design and Development, NOVA

There was a proactive shift from surveillance to student support and success. Highlights include:

• 41% of exam sessions saw prevented instances of possible academic dishonesty.
• Only 18% of exam sessions included potentially high-risk behaviors.
• 89% of exam sessions were completed without incident.
• Only 12% of exam sessions were reported to faculty for review.

Human-Centered AI Driving Student Success

IN-APP ENGAGEMENT: Following the pilot’s success, MDC is scaling Kyron to high-enrollment courses like college algebra, public speaking, and introductory science to reduce DFW rates and improve persistence.

• 82% said Kyron was effective in facilitating learning.
• 85% felt more confident in their understanding.

Miami Dade College (MDC) serves 100K+ diverse students annually. It sought an AI solution to boost online engagement and feedback without adding faculty burden. Partnering with Kyron Learning, MDC piloted an interactive, conversation-based AI for ENC 1101 (English Composition I). The foundational course, with high online enrollment, experiences persistent challenges in writing instruction. Integrating directly into Canvas, Kyron guided students through thesis writing and persuasive essays. Unlike generative AI, Kyron prompted deeper thinking, provided real-time clarification, and allowed revisions before submission. Faculty remained in control of course design yet students gained immediate, formative feedback.Kyron proves AI can augment—not replace—instruction: driving engagement, confidence, and equity in online learning.

STUDENT SURVEY HIGHLIGHTS: Students praised the clarity, interactivity, and practical guidance, asking for Kyron in more courses. Faculty noted stronger student work and reduced feedback load.

• 93% found modules engaging (vs. 67% without Kyron).

• 100% reported more opportunities to practice (vs. 83%).

• 93% felt more confident in persuasive writing (vs. 67%).

Yavapai College Boosts Online Completion Rates with Labster

By integrating virtual labs, a rural Arizona community college closed its online/in-person completion gap in microbiology. CHALLENGE Yavapai College’s Fall 2023 BIO 205 microbiology course had significantly lower online completion rates (66%) compared to in-person (80%). With over two-thirds of students enrolled online and ongoing instructor turnover, the college needed a scalable, consistent, and accessible solution to support online learners. SOLUTION In Fall 2024, Yavapai adopted Labster’s virtual lab simulations for BIO 205. The simulations acted as a “digital co-instructor,” providing consistent, repeatable experiences across sections, eliminating logistical delays from home lab kits, and ensuring equitable access to lab resources.

RESULTS

• Online completion rates rose from 66% to 80% within one year, matching in-person rates.
• Gains were sustained through Spring 2025.
• Costs were comparable to home lab kits, but with greater accessibility, consistency, and equity benefits.

The AI voices are remarkably similar to their human counterparts, with natural-sounding cadence and fast response times. When asked for help with a hypothetical salary negotiation, the AI-Voss discussed how to approach the conversation, provided tips on how to strike a balance between confidence and humility, and drafted an initial outreach email.

CASE STUDY

Demonstrating Measurable Progress with Personalized Learning

In 2025, we set out to understand how effectively Preply helps learners progress—especially when supported by personalized guidance and consistent, human-led learning. We designed a 12-week study focused on English language learners from Spain. The goal? To measure what changes when learners engage in regular 1-on-1 lessons with a Preply tutor. WHAT WE DID 67 native Spanish speakers between the ages of 25-55 participated in 24 or more English language lessons with a Preply tutor over 12 weeks. Each participant completed:

• A pre-study survey to assess their confidence, fluency, and goals.
• A post-study survey to evaluate their experience and progress.
• A level test before and after the program to quantify skill gains.

KEY FINDINGS 1. Confidence and Fluency Grow with Consistency

• 97% of all participants reported feeling confident speaking English after engaging in the Preply language learning program.
• 94% felt their fluency improved, with statistically significant gains in fluency ratings across the board.

2. Personalized Learning Drives Results

• 99% reported having a personalized learning experience with PreplyLearners valued real-time feedback, human interaction, and program flexibility the most.

3. Human Interaction is Critical

• 96% said practicing with a real person was key to their progress.

4. Language Learning That Impacts Careers

• 100% of participants believed learning English would help them in their career.

• 76% felt more confident contributing to work meetings.

• 80% felt more prepared to give presentations in English.

5. Real Skill Gains—Backed by Testing

• Learners who took 24 or more lessons improved their level test scores across all skill areas, including speaking, listening, grammar, and fluency.

• 1 out of 3 learners improved their CEFR-aligned language test scores by a full level.

• These learners progressed up to 3x faster than typical learning timelines.

U.S. Marine Corps Partners with Workera to Revolutionize Civilian Workforce Development

In March 2025, the U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) selected Workera to enhance the capabilities of its civilian Professional Analysts, aiming to evaluate mission-critical workforce skills with data-driven insights. CHALLENGE The Marine Corps needed precise, scalable tools to measure and strengthen skills in mission-critical analyst roles. SOLUTION Workera’s platform, which measures more than 10,000 skills using advanced AI, enabled leaders to identify gaps, make data-backed decisions, and customize analysts’ development.

RESULT Leaders gained visibility into the skill strengths and gaps of Professional Analysts, enabling better alignment of training investments with strategic mission needs. The foundation was laid for agile reskilling and upskilling, with potential to extend to other civilian workforce groups. The pilot program is expected to expand to other USMC civilian segments within the Marine Corps, with the goal of creating a fully skills-verified workforce. This model may guide other federal agencies seeking to use AI tools to modernize talent development.

"Our partnership with the U.S. Marine Corps underscores the impact AI-driven skills intelligence can have on workforce development within mission-critical organizations. By providing precise, actionable insights into skills capabilities, we're enabling the Marine Corps to strategically align and optimize their civilian workforce, and we look forward to continued collaboration with the USMC and Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office on future initiatives." – Kian Katanforoosh, CEO, Workera.
