ALEKS® Adventure™ Engagement Study
Grades K and 3
We invite your district to apply!
McGraw Hill is recruiting districts to participate in a study to determine the impact of ALEKS Adventure, an adaptive supplemental math program, on kindergarten and third-grade students’ math performance and engagement.
The study will determine how ALEKS Adventure impacts performance when paired with an existing core math program.
Participation Requirements and Time Commitment
To be eligible for this research study, your district must:
- Use ALEKS Adventure to supplement a core math curriculum in Grades K and 3.
- Be willing to have an independent evaluator randomly assign ALEKS Adventure to half of the participating teachers in the 2025–2026 school year to supplement an existing math core curriculum.
- Collaborate with researchers to coordinate teacher survey and interview—approximately 1.5 hours total.
- Provide access to available de-identified student-level data from 2025–2026 benchmark assessments (e.g., iReady, NWEA MAP, or similar) for Grades K and 3 for analysis and inclusion in a written report—approximately 2–3 hours total.
- Provide access to available de-identified student-level data from 2025–2026 state summative assessments for analysis and inclusion in a written report—approximately 2–3 hours total.
Why Participate?
Districts that complete all study requirements will receive a report of the study findings and will be eligible to receive incentives in compliance with district rules.
