K-12 Student Learning Products: Narrowing the Learning Gap for Underprivileged Students
DATE AND TIME:
June 11th 2019
WEBINAR FILES:
The US K-12 public education system educates over 50 million children, many of whom live in poverty. Investors in K-12 ed tech have an important opportunity to improve the lives of children by driving better student engagement and overcoming the many inadequacies of poorer school districts. At the same time, the market for US PreK-12 software alone has exceeded $8 billion, and recent industry reports project an estimated value of $252 billion for the global ed-tech industry by 2020. How can investors rigorously examine and evaluate PreK-12 student learning products?
This webinar will feature Genevieve Hartman of BrightBytes and Michele Demers of Boundless Impact Investing. Speakers will discuss a joint study by Boundless Impact Investing and BrightBytes that measured the efficacy of learning tools on disadvantaged students.
