New Classrooms Innovation Partners

What New Classrooms Innovation Partners does

New Classrooms Innovation Partners is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2011 by Joel Rose and Chris Rush — both veterans of NYC Public Schools' School of One initiative, which TIME Magazine named one of its Top 50 Inventions of 2009. The organization develops and delivers personalized mathematics learning models to K-12 schools and districts across the United States, with a stated emphasis on middle school math (grades 5 through Algebra 1). Its core product suite centers on Teach to One: Math and its successors: Teach to One 360, a school-based model integrating live teacher-led instruction, software-based lessons, collaborative activities, virtual tutors, and individual practice; and Teach to One Roadmaps, an all-digital tool that generates individualized academic roadmaps via a proprietary skill map of approximately 300 interrelated math standards. The underlying technology uses computer algorithms and machine learning to sequence daily learning objectives per student and recommend instructional modalities based on student needs, learning styles, and classroom logistics.

The company's go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales to schools and districts with a product-led free diagnostic tier (Teach to One Roadmaps) and an active policy-advocacy motion targeting state education agencies and federal policymakers. Revenue is a hybrid of subscription/program fees paid by school customers (processed via Stripe, with USD-denominated contracts disclosed in Terms of Use) and philanthropic contributions from a broad base of major foundations — including Gates, Walton Family, Carnegie Corporation of New York, Chan Zuckerberg Education Initiative, Dalio, Dell, Bezos Family, Barr, Robin Hood, Oak, NewSchools Venture Fund, New Profit, Blue Meridian Partners, and Siegel Family Endowment. The organization also generates influence and pipeline through research reports (The Iceberg Problem, Solving the Iceberg Problem, Out of the Box) and policy frameworks such as Texas Math Innovation Zones.

Named customer districts include Ector County ISD (Texas), Elizabeth Public Schools (New Jersey), and Phoenix International Academy (Arizona). An independent three-year study using NWEA MAP assessment data found students enrolled in Teach to One 360 achieved 23% more learning progress than national peers — equivalent to 4.5 years of learning in 3 years. The organization is governed by a Board chaired by Jeff Wetzler, with Joel Rose as Co-founder and CEO, and operates from a national office in Jersey City, NJ, and a satellite office in New York City.
