Using AI, Beyond 12 is scaling their proven coaching model to ensure all historically underserved college students have the opportunity to earn post-secondary degrees that allow them to break cycles of poverty and lead choice-filled lives.

Paloma Learning Inc.
Paloma’s app enables marginalized families to build a habit of tutoring their kids for 15 daily minutes. This transforms student learning outcomes and family efficacy. Research shows families—not schools—primarily determine academic outcomes. Nonetheless, districts have historically sidestepped families and focused narrowly on classrooms (where kids spend <13% waking hours). Paloma helps Title I districts dramatically accelerate student learning by unleashing parents’ untapped teaching potential. By helping parents tutor their kids daily, Paloma unlocks a world of instructional time that otherwise lays dormant in every school community. As one superintendent put it, “Paloma awakens the sleeping giant of parents as tutors.”

Teaching Lab
Teaching Lab and its partners, Coursemojo and Magpie, will use AI-powered tutoring and curriculum-aligned teacher tools to dramatically improve student literacy outcomes, increase teacher effectiveness, and disrupt generational poverty. Learning to read is one of the most powerful anti-poverty tools. AI solutions, built based on the Science of Reading and high-quality curriculum, hold great promise to improve student literacy outcomes. The team’s transformational approach includes: 1) Magpie’s AI-enhanced First Foundations to build all literacy subskills; 2) Coursemojo’s AI-powered assistant teacher to build comprehension and writing skills; and 3) Teaching Lab’s coaching and professional learning to ensure teachers and product designers effectively implement for impact.
