Only 5% of schools help the average student catch up to grade level.
Teachers across the country are asked to do the impossible: diagnose each student's learning gap, find evidence-based interventions, coach students through them, and keep grade-level instruction moving forward.
Daniel Weisberg, former NYC First Deputy Chancellor and TNTP CEO, just spelled out the playbook in The 74. Schools that catch students up have three things working together: real-time insight into what each student actually understands, evidence-informed guidance on what to do about it, and coaches who help teachers execute with precision.
That's Atlas by Kiddom. That's what Bronx superintendents are piloting right now.
The Catch-up Crisis is reversible with coherent curriculum, smart tools, and teacher coaching. Kiddom is building it.

Your students are doing great work on paper. Now there's an easy way to get it in front of the class.
Introducing Spotlight Mode on the brand-new Kiddom Teacher app for live instruction. Walk the room. Snap a photo of student work. Project it live, anonymously, mid-lesson.
Your students' thinking becomes the discussion, without anyone getting put on the spot.

The room was loud. Productively loud. Kids arguing about math, defending their thinking, catching their own mistakes out loud.
That kind of room doesn't happen by accident.
Here's what Abbas Manjee (our Co-Founder & Chief Academic Officer and former math teacher) saw when he visited a 7th grade math class in NYC, and what he wants every educator to take away.
Teacher Appreciation Week has an end date. The confidence built in that room doesn't.
How have teachers shaped who you are?
Jen Reeves struggled with math all the way through 9th grade.
Then her teacher, Mrs. Ross, said something in 10th grade geometry that changed everything.
Here's what she said. And where Jen, former math teacher and current Sr. Account Executive, ended up because of it.
Teacher Appreciation Week ends today. We'll show up for teachers tomorrow and every day after, too.
Whoβs the teacher who will always matter to you?
In 3rd grade, Dr. Melissa Hogan whispered to her teacher: "Can we skip me today?"
Her teacher said no. And then said something Dr. Hogan never forgot.
Watch as Dr. Melissa Hogan, Head of Impact at Kiddom, shares the moment that changed what 3rd-grade Melissa thought she was capable of.
Who's the teacher that changed that for you?
Happy Teacher Appreciation Week β₯οΈ
Every student who walks in ready to learn has a teacher behind that. We know, because so many of us were in the classroom first.
We were those students. Some of us were those teachers. All of us build for the people still in the room.
This week, we're sharing stories from our team. The teacher who stayed late. The lesson that finally clicked. The Sunday night that decided who we became.
We need more than a week to appreciate teachers, but we'll take it.
Tag a teacher who made it count.
Happy Teacher Appreciation Week β€οΈ

"Winning for kids requires rewriting the rules of a losing game."
Abbas Manjee (Kiddom) and Arun Ramanathan (@PowerMyLearning) on why the AI-vs-no-AI debate is the wrong frame. Worth a re-read: https://t.co/6H53ukOA8V
Jared Cooney Horvath's testimony has everyone pointing fingers at EdTech. But blaming the technology misses the real problem: schools have never had a reliable way to prove learning is actually happening.
Clicks, logins, time on task. Those aren't proof. They're noise. And by the time the data arrives, it's too late to do anything about it.
Our latest post explores what a real impact signal looks like, and why the next era of EdTech belongs to systems that can prove learning is happening.

Math proficiency at P.S. 083 Donald Hertz in NYC jumped from 55% to 62% in a year and a half.
The Gates Foundation's President of the U.S. Program, Allan Golston, just wrote about why, and Atlas by Kiddom is front and center.
Teachers with real-time visibility into student thinking. Small groups pulled before the next lesson. Instruction that meets students where they are and when it matters.
Coherent instruction exists. The only question is why it isn't everywhere yet.

Kβ12 spent a decade buying better curriculum. Almost no one built the system to deliver it.
That's the gap we're closing, and @EdTechDigest named us their 2026 Trendsetter for it.

@PowerMyLearning Their three rules for getting AI in schools right:
Tech as infrastructure, not instructor
Human relationships over device time
Transparency from vendors. Faster, smarter approval from districts
Responsibility cuts both ways.
Star Trek didn't replace teachers. It put them in the room with the kids and let the tech handle the rest.
That's the design pattern American classrooms keep missing.

What can Star Trek teach us about #AI in #education?
In a new @EdSource piece, CEO Arun Ramanathan and @kiddomappβs Abbas Manjee share three ideas for using AI to deepen student learning, not replace teaching. https://t.co/M1ynoKunwX
OPINION: Just like in βStar Trek,β technology should function as infrastructure rather than instructor, part of the environment, not the focus of attention. #caedu@PowerMyLearning@kiddomapp

Every night, somewhere, a teacher is sitting at their kitchen table trying to figure out what to do next for 28 different students.
Atlas changes that.
After every Cool-Down, Atlas reads your students' responses overnight, identifies who got stuck and why, and prepares differentiated next steps before you're back in class. The analysis that used to cost you hours? Done.
You still lead every decision. Atlas just makes sure you walk in ready.
See how it works. π

Your curriculum. Your questions. Answered instantly β right inside the lesson you're teaching.
Meet Kiddom Assistant: Learning Intelligence built around your curriculum, not the open web. Take a sneak peak at: https://t.co/3oOBVKj0Hu
1 in 3 teachers stop using high-quality curriculum within 30 days. Not because the curriculum fails them. Because the system around it does.
We heard this over and over at ASU+GSV last week. When curriculum, assessment, and data actually work together, teachers move faster. They focus on their students and HQIM sticks.
Coherence is an infrastructure problem and we're building for it at Kiddom.

After every lesson, there's a gap between what happened today and what students need tomorrow. Atlas closes it. Overnight, automatically. You arrive tomorrow knowing exactly who needs what, with the next steps already prepared.
