The ASSISTments Foundation is a growing non-profit that spun out of Worcester Polytechnic Institute in 2019. Our founders, Cristina and Neil Heffernan, are former math teachers who could never find enough time to give students feedback and analyze data to plan instruction. They developed ASSISTments, a best-in-class math practice and assessment platform, to enable K-12 math teachers to assign high quality content and to use powerful data and reporting to better meet their students' needs. ASSISTments is the most rigorously studied and proven edtech solution on the market. The ASSISTments Foundation is focused on 1) scaling ASSISTments and 2) engaging in innovation and research, in partnership with the ASSISTments Lab @ WPI. We reached 95,000 students last year and are focused on accelerating this growth.
