Gradient Learning Information

Founded by educators, Gradient Learning is a nonprofit organization that brings communities, schools, and families together in pursuit of meeting the holistic needs of every student. Our vision has always been to give schools a unified system that makes Whole Student Learning achievable. Our 2023-2024 update is a step towards delivering on that promise. We’re rethinking, remaking, and rebuilding education—partnering with schools across the country through the Summit Learning program and our new tool, Along. Increased Access to Rigorous Curricula & Supports We want schools to have access to the most rigorous, whole-student-aligned curricula available today so that students can access rich, relevant learning materials every day. That’s why we’re supplementing our 2024 Base Curriculum with externally validated curricula in math, English Language Arts, science, and open-source courses in social studies. All curricula will be preloaded into our platform, and newly implementing schools will receive training and resources from Gradient Learning. Whole Student Refresh We are also refining our support of whole student outcomes for our schools. We are prioritizing a set of our Habits of Success, adding aligned assessment tools into courses, refining our dashboards to incorporate those new assessments, and building out a new set of research-based teacher practices that lead to student growth on these prioritized Habits of Success. Evolved Learning Platform Lastly, we are evolving our platform to meet our current and future programmatic needs. We’re excited to share that we built a new experience on top of Canvas and are heavily customizing our instance of the platform so it comes pre-loaded with all of our rigorous curricula, our mentoring experience, our whole student dashboard, updated Learning Space, and more. This is all part of our evolution towards a complete Whole Student System that brings together everything educators need—in a single, cohesive approach.
