It also follows MasteryConnect’s announcement that the company is poised to achieve profitability in 2017, ensuring long-lasting stability and further enhancement for the growing community of educators it serves.

Millions of teachers already use MasteryConnect for access to real-time data around student learning so they can inform instruction for better student outcomes. Jami O’Toole of the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation explains how this is helping make a meaningful difference in the classroom: “In order to maximize the learning potential of each student, teachers need access to daily information about what their students have and have not learned. We invested in MasteryConnect because they provide great tools to support teachers in using formative assessment in their classrooms.”

The funding commitment reinforces MasteryConnect’s momentum in the K-12 industry and the meaningful impact it has on personalized learning. CEO Mick Hewitt says MasteryConnect will continually innovate in the assessment and curriculum space: “Our 2017 roadmap strengthens our core assessment offering and provides new, in-demand features that enable teachers to more effectively measure student growth, drive performance-based assessment, and capture evidence of student learning.”
