Rhode Island Personalized Math Learning Opportunity

Empowering Schools Through Innovation in Mathematics Instruction

The Rhode Island Department of Education (RIDE) is partnering with New Classrooms to bring Teach to One Rhodemaps to select schools across the state. Teach to One Rhodemaps is Rhode Island’s localized version of Teach to One Roadmaps, a nationally recognized, personalized, competency-based math learning platform. This pilot, supported by the Bezos Family Foundation, is designed to help Rhode Island schools accelerate student learning through more individualized and coherent math instruction.

About the Pilot Program

The pilot was launched in 2025-26. In 2026-27 the pilot will be expanded. This pilot initiative provides participating schools with:

  • Free access to the Teach to One Rhodemaps platform for up to three school years
  • Customized training and support for educators and administrators
  • Opportunities to shape the product and implementation through feedback and collaboration with RIDE and New Classrooms

How Teach to One Rhodemaps Works

Goal Met Animation

Teach to One Rhodemaps is powered by Teach to One Roadmaps, a nationally recognized personalized math learning solution. Here’s how it supports students and educators:

  • Generates individualized pathways for each student, identifying the precise pre-, on-, and post-grade skills they need to learn to achieve proficiency
  • Recommends the skills each student is most ready to learn next in alignment with tier 1 instructional goals
  • Provides a rich array of supportive resources for each skill, including:
    • Worked examples
    • Vocabulary
    • Practice problems
    • Instructional content for educators from a variety of high-quality providers
  • Includes short-form formative assessments (“exit tickets”) for every skill, which:
    • Can be taken at any time, in or out of school
    • Measure understanding and mastery at the skill level
  • Delivers real-time data to inform core instruction and help educators tailor small-group and one-on-one instruction
  • Aligned to Rhode Island Core Standards for Mathematics and the most commonly used core math curricula in the state, ensuring coherence with local instructional priorities

Program Implementation

Teach to One Rhodemaps is designed to provide schools with targeted, flexible intervention aligned to Rhode Island’s math priorities. For the 2026–27 pilot year, RIDE is focusing on grades 6–8.

Grade Focus: Grades 6–8
Instructional Model: Tier 2 math intervention that integrates with existing core instruction
Recommended Usage: 60–90 minutes per week during an intervention period or built into core math time

Review impact research

ACS Independent Study
“Evaluation of Teach to One Roadmaps” confirms that using Roadmaps provides students with a valid pathway to proficiency on state math assessments.

“Unlocking Algebra: What the Data Tells Us About Helping Students Catch Up” explores how targeted algebra readiness interventions accelerate progress.

Eligibility and Timeline

For the 2026–27 school year, RIDE is prioritizing participation from schools serving grades 6–8 as part of its statewide math strategy.

  • Open to Rhode Island public schools, including both district and charter schools
  • Approximately 44 schools will participate in the 2026–27 expansion of the pilot program
  • A total of 7,500 student licenses are still available statewide for 2026-2027
  • Program planning and onboarding begins Spring 2026

Participation in the pilot will require:

  • A $0 Master Services Agreement (MSA) between the school/district and New Classrooms
  • A Data Sharing Agreement (DSA) between RIDE, New Classrooms, and participating schools/districts

This is the second year of a three-year partnership.
