PowerMyLearning is committed to ensuring that all children reach their fullest potential – mastering rigorous learning standards and owning their learning. We believe personalized learning can play a critical role in accomplishing this goal as long as personalized learning includes the people who matter most to children's success – their parents and teachers. Our vision is that one day all districts and schools will enable teachers to team up with families and colleagues to provide personalized, integrated, and joyful learning experiences for students.

We provide customized partnerships with schools and districts to drive school-wide improvement in student academic mastery and ownership of learning, family engagement, and teacher practice. In order to achieve our purpose, we: • Partner with public schools and districts with 75% or more students qualifying for free or reduced price lunch to provide comprehensive programs and services throughout the country • Provide publically available tools at no cost to support teacher growth, such as the PowerMyLearning Framework and Professional Development Playlists available on our digital learning platform, PowerMyLearning Connect • Provide engaging learning activities for grades K-12 in all subject areas at no cost on our digital learning platform, PowerMyLearning Connect • Provide low-cost features on PowerMyLearning Connect: School Edition that enable teachers to collaborate more effectively with each other and enable families to meaningfully engage in their children's learning • Act as thought leaders by presenting at industry conferences, sharing case studies to promote best practices, and appearing on national, regional, and local news outlets • Continuously improve based on internal and external research, including an annual impact study that we publish online for free The three pillars of our five-year strategic growth plan are rooted in dramatically scaling the impact of these services and initiatives by school year 2020-21. The plan's pillars and their intended outcomes are as follows: 1. Strategic Expansion: By 2021, we will scale our three service delivery models to ultimately serve 100,500 students and will reach 575,000 more through a new, premium version of PowerMyLearning Connect called PowerMyLearning Connect: School Edition. 2. Continuous Improvement: We will innovate our professional development and family engagement services, identify the best digital learning content on the web using gold-standard research methods, and conduct ongoing formative evaluation with research partner MDRC to ensure quality as we scale. 3. Thought Leadership: We will broadly disseminate our perspective and learnings, thereby expanding the national understanding of blended learning, and grow the PowerMyLearning Network of school, district, and other learning partners in order to foster a shared awareness of what works in blended learning.

By leveraging schools' existing content, technologies, and initiatives, we increase efficiency and coordination rather than displacing strong programs that a school may already have in place. We have a proven track record of effectively serving schools in our four regions – New York City, Atlanta, Los Angeles, and the Bay Area, as demonstrated by the 87% first-year renewal rate among our school partners and the success we have demonstrated to date. We have an outstanding leadership team comprised of members who boast a variety of expertise as well as a wealth of experience, including: • A total of more than 63 years of combined K-12 teaching experience • Advanced degrees from prestigious learning institutions such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Yale Law School, and Columbia University (including its Business School and Teachers College), and Harvard University • Past employment at various national educational nonprofits including Teach for America, Classroom Inc. , K12, and Communities in Schools, as well as national for-profit education companies including Kaplan Test Prep, Kaplan K12 Learning Services, and Lesson Planet

Because program quality and efficiency are extremely important to PowerMyLearning, we regularly evaluate and adjust programs and initiatives based on external and internal feedback. For example, we receive immediate feedback on our family engagement services via post-event surveying. Feedback on our professional development work also comes from surveys, in addition to student achievement and competence in curriculum standards as well as field notes and observations recorded by our field staff and assessed against our teaching rubric. All of these data points feed into our annual assessment of, and adjustment to, PowerMyLearning's program offerings. At a higher level, the progress of our strategic plan efforts will be measured through ongoing formative evaluation by MDRC, our research partner and a firm well-regarded for its continuous improvement work with nonprofits. MDRC will conduct formative evaluations across service delivery models to ensure quality implementation, continuously improve the impact of our work even as we scale, and enable us to share learnings broadly.

• Since 1999, we have served students in more than 100 schools in four regions across the U. S. : New York City, Atlanta, Los Angeles, and the San Francisco Bay Area. • Our online learning platform, PowerMyLearning Connect, has users in over 40% of U. S. schools. • Results over four school years (the 2012-13, 2013-14, 2014-15 and 2015-16 academic years) show that our partner schools in four regions of the country outperformed comparison schools in math proficiency by an average of 7. 0 percentage points each year. • In April 2010, our programmatic expertise was recognized by the U. S. Department of Commerce, in its awarding significant ARRA funding for rapid expansion of PowerMyLearning's Digital Learning Program in New York and Los Angeles. With this funding from the Department's Broadband Technology Opportunities Program (BTOP), PowerMyLearning was able to grow more than four-fold in only one year in New York (from serving 18 schools to serving 72) and grow more than ten-fold in only one year in Los Angeles (from serving one school to serving 29). ] • We have received nine consecutive four-star ratings from Charity Navigator. • We continue to diversify our delivery options and regional partners, with our services now reaching additional schools in Georgia, Virginia, and Washington, DC.
