Overview
Announced: February 26, 2025
NewSchools announced a funding opportunity to catalyze the development and evaluation of generative AI (GenAI) math tutoring solutions built on specialized foundation models. This initiative aims to harness the power of GenAI to personalize learning and support student success in K-12 math, especially during a time of significant math achievement declines.
Focus
GenAI has significant potential to support student success in math, but barriers exist related to accuracy, cost, and alignment with pedagogical best practices. This opportunity supports innovations built on specialized foundation models trained and fine-tuned for math instructional use cases.
What We Are Looking For
Investments in new GenAI math tutoring solutions that are:
- Aligned with NewSchools' investment criteria
- Creating a tutoring approach focused on 1-1 or small group math interventions aligned to core math instruction and individualized to meet diverse student needs
- Leveraging evidence-based best practices in tutoring and math instruction, including alignment to state and district standards
- Developing GenAI math tutoring solutions built on specialized foundation models (e.g., Microsoft's Phi-3, Google's LearnLM, Meta's Llama 3.2, OpenAI's o1, Anthropic's Claude 3, Mistral's Mathstral)
- Capable of piloting solutions in U.S. K-12 classrooms by early 2026
- Willing to participate in a research evaluation project with an external partner
Eligible Organizations
- Non-profits, for-profits, and universities
- Teams developing a new GenAI math tutoring solution built on specialized foundation models
- Teams with an established approach to math tutoring interested in exploring benefits of specialized foundation models
- Teams using AI for the first time or testing a new foundation model
