Indianapolis Public Schools (IPS) recently announced a partnership with edtech solutions provider Discovery Education, according to a news release. All of the district’s K–8 students and teachers will gain access to DreamBox Math, which blends curriculum and continuous formative assessments that adapt to student needs to boost achievement.

The move is part of IPS’ Rebuilding Stronger initiative, a district roadmap toward tackling pervasive challenges across the district. According to a news release, DreamBox Math met the district’s need for a “classroom-tested, research-proven digital math program that was aligned to the district’s vision for math education and able to provide intervention, remediation, or enrichment to all students.”

DreamBox Math is a standards-aligned, digital program that provides personalized instruction to K–8 students that adapts to learners’ needs in real time based on the student’s answers and problem-solving methods. Its ultimate goal is to provide conceptual understanding, confidence, and motivation to students and any level of mathematical development.

“Discovery Education is proud to partner with the Indianapolis Public Schools on the Rebuilding Stronger initiative,” said Alissa Parks, Discovery Education Director of Education Partnerships. “The district’s vision for a family of schools where all students have equitable access to high quality programs in close proximity with comprehensive student supports offers an exciting new template for K-12 education, and we look forward to working alongside district educators on this effort.”
