Project Description

LessonLoop’s mission is to amplify student voice, guide better instruction, and transform learner engagement—all through one professional learning platform. Student voice, though seldom measured, has the power to transform education. We have developed a novel platform that translates student voice on their learning experience into instant, actionable data and personalized instructional recommendations for educators in grades 3-12 to create more engaging and effective class lessons. By collecting real-time learner engagement analytics with an anonymous survey at the end of a class lesson, LessonLoop empowers teachers to quickly and systematically identify students’ learning experience catalysts and barriers to make immediate instructional adjustments on a continuous basis. Our theory of change is that if educators have a quick, easy, actionable way to assess lesson engagement, coupled with personalized evidence-based coaching tips, that they will create more joyful, rigorous, meaningful, and equitable class lessons—where students will be more motivated to learn, and academic outcomes will increase.
