Case Study: Bermuda Ministry of Education achieves strong gains in math with Discovery Education's DreamBox Math

Bermuda Ministry of Education boosts math growth by six months with Discovery Education

The Bermuda Ministry of Education initially had limited adoption of DreamBox Math from Discovery Education, despite having access since 2016. The challenge was to effectively implement the adaptive learning program to support personalized math instruction for K-8 students and gain widespread teacher buy-in across the territory's school system.

Discovery Education's solution involved a focused push to demonstrate DreamBox Math's capabilities, including its Launchpad assessment for accurate student placement and detailed growth reporting. This led to strong teacher adoption, facilitated by school incentives and parent engagement. The measurable impact was significant: average math growth was six months, but with DreamBox, five elementary schools exceeded that in the 2023-24 year, with one school achieving a full year of growth ahead of schedule.
