Multi-Pronged Approach Average Annual Impact 1000 Students Impacted 400 Backpacks Distributed 400 Hours Tutored View our 2024 Annual Report Noggin's math and reading instruction and tutoring is provided exclusively by experienced classroom teachers. Significant learning gaps have been caused by the Pandemic and the teacher shortage. According to the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), a majority of states saw scores decline for fourth- and eighth-graders in mathematics and reading between 2019 and 2022. Reading and math proficiency is the lowest it has been in decades. A study by the Annie E. Casey Foundation shows that four of every five students who come from low-income households don’t meet reading proficiency requirements. At Noggin, we exclusively utilize experienced classroom teachers to provide math and reading instruction as they are uniquely equipped to bridge learning gaps. Studies show that high-quality afterschool, summer learning, and tutoring programs are associated with 4-5 months of academic gains and positive impact on behavior and attendance.
