Our foundation for Whole Student instruction
Gradient Learning is committed to providing educators with all they need to maximize their impact on each student.
At the heart of this mission is our platform, a dynamic and evolving resource designed to streamline instruction, enhance communication, and drive student success.
A central hub for daily lessons
The platform is designed to enhance—not replace—teacher-led instruction. It serves as a daily instructional tool that supports lessons where students engage in rich in-person discussions, collaborative activities, and authentic tasks like labs and projects. Teachers can also provide learning activities and assessments, give immediate feedback, use metrics to drive instructional decisions, track student progress, facilitate communication with students and caregivers, and more. Essentially, it streamlines access to resources and supports consistency in lesson delivery and student learning.
When teachers maximize the platform as a daily instructional tool, students receive a unique experience that provides:
Access to rigorous instructional materials.
Actionable data where students use teacher feedback on individual assignments and course grades to understand their progress and set learning goals.
Easy and efficient ways to communicate and connect.
Differentiation of learning materials that are tailored to students’ interests and needs.
These components are integrated and pre-designed by Gradient Learning to work together, so this unified approach not only saves teachers time, but they no longer have to worry about having logins to several sites and then take on the heavy lift of trying to make the tools speak to each other.
“We want to enable teachers to be able to spend as much time as possible supporting students’ academic and holistic development and meeting their unique needs,” said Katie Chambers, Managing Director of Program Delivery at Gradient Learning. “Navigating many different websites, training resources, logins to various tools, and disparate data sources takes significant time and can be frustrating.
“Gradient Learning’s Whole Student Platform aims to integrate high-quality curriculum, data insights, instructional tools, and supports in an all-in-one, daily teaching and learning tool.”
Insightful data visualizations
The Whole Student Dashboard enables data-driven instruction, delivering powerful insights through the integration of both academic and Whole Student data.The dashboard is being enhanced for the 2025-26 academic year with a more guided experience and insights, helping educators understand student progress and make data-informed decisions to support individual needs.
This integration is key to the platform's power. It addresses a common pain point for educators: the often overwhelming task of managing multiple systems and resources. Chambers' perspective is shaped by the extra hours she spent planning and preparing lessons during her years as a teacher.
“I spent a lot of time in my own math classroom, manually piecing together the best possible student experience,” Chambers said. “I know firsthand how challenging this is and am working with our Gradient team and alongside our partner schools to deliver a platform that takes this lift off of teachers and enables them to be able to spend as much time as possible with students, directly supporting their academic and holistic development.”
An evolving platform
Similar to student needs, Gradient Learning understands that the needs of educators are constantly evolving. That's why the platform is designed to be dynamic and responsive to feedback. The platform is continually being updated and improved based on input from educators.
Recent updates have focused on making updated courses available earlier for planning and customization and providing the Gradient Student Check-in Tool to help students build deeper connections with teachers and peers.
By providing this comprehensive platform, Gradient Learning empowers educators to focus on supporting every student. As we continue to listen to feedback from the educator community and work to improve the platform, its power will continue to grow and provide a unique whole student experience.
