Program overview
Fullmind partnered with a district in Utah to provide supplemental math and reading instruction for students in grades 4–8. Small-group tutoring sessions occurred twice weekly for a total of 60 minutes and ran for 14 weeks. Each session was recorded so students could review previous material or, if absent, view the lesson asynchronously to address lost instructional time.
NWEA assessments
Fullmind analyzed district benchmark assessment data from the Winter 2023 and Spring 2023 administrations. Fullmind students demonstrated significantly greater growth in both math and reading.
Results
Fullmind students exceeded expected growth in reading by 72% and increased their Lexile reading scores by an average of 58 points from Winter to Spring. Approximately 50 students participated for an average of 60 minutes per week over 14 weeks.
How growth was measured
Projected growth represents an estimate of how many points students are expected to gain on their benchmark assessment. More students met or exceeded expected growth in the Spring semester—with Fullmind services in place—than in the Fall semester without Fullmind services.
