The research & results backing Derivita.
Third-party studies, independent research, real-district case studies, and implementation guides,. Everything your district needs to make a confident adoption decision, in one place.
ESSA Research
All studies are conducted by independent third-party researchers. Derivita does not self-report efficacy data.
IV
Third-party logic model documenting how Derivita's instructional design — LMS integration, formative feedback, and PLC workflows — connects to improved math outcomes at scale. The highest ESSA tier for systematic evidence.
III
Independent study showing +13 percentile point gains and +0.37–0.45 SD improvement in math achievement per additional Derivita question answered daily. No prescribed implementation model.
II
A state-wide quasi-experimental study currently underway, designed to further validate Derivita's impact with stronger causal controls and broader geographic representation.
Implementation & Model Guides
Practical frameworks for getting the most from Derivita at every level of your organization.
How district leaders use Derivita's blueprint analytics, PLC reporting, and intervention tools to drive system-wide math improvement — from classroom to boardroom.
A practitioner's guide to structuring Derivita at the school level, from bell ringers and daily practice to common assessments and intervention blocks.
How individual teachers use Derivita to run a high-quality math class, formative homework, bell ringers, SpotCheck for discourse, and real-time progress monitoring.
Data showing Derivita reduces teacher workload by 28%, and the instructional payoff when teachers redirect that time toward high-impact practices.
Real Districts. Measurable Results.
Stories from the districts and schools using Derivita, in their own words, with their own data.
How one district built an RTI process around Derivita, demonstrated measurable gains across 7 secondary schools, and transformed how their PLCs operate, including a teacher who built a program she says keeps her in the classroom.
A large Utah district that achieved 85%+ license utilization through LMS-native integration, with PLC data conversations that changed how math departments collaborate district-wide.
An Algebra 1B EOC turnaround story, how targeted daily practice with Derivita produced measurable score improvements on end-of-course assessments in a single school year.
The Research Behind the Design
The theoretical foundations and academic research that informed how Derivita was built.
Benjamin Bloom proved one-on-one tutoring produces the largest learning gains ever documented. This interactive research brief maps Derivita's design directly to Bloom's highest-impact variables — and includes a district impact calculator showing what the research means for your students.
Standards are shared expectations; curricula are different paths to them. This brief explains the design choice to align to the foundations of secondary math rather than any single curriculum, so districts can switch textbooks, run mixed adoptions, and support every teacher without ever leaving Derivita behind.
