State-funded Zearn Math access available with implementation requirements
The Ohio Department of Education and Workforce is offering an opportunity for a select number of districts and schools to receive funding to implement Zearn Math in the 2025-2026 school year. This offer is part of the state’s ongoing effort to improve students’ math proficiency.
For the 2025-2026 school year, state-provided funding for Zearn Math will be contingent upon districts agreeing to specific implementation requirements designed to ensure the program’s success. These implementation requirements are proven to support schools and districts in meeting Zearn’s recommended usage level of three or more on/above grade-level lessons each week. Research from the pilot year of usage found that Ohio students who completed at least three grade-level Zearn Math lessons per week scored significantly higher on Ohio’s State Tests than similarly matched students who did not use Zearn.
Districts or schools that commit to the implementation requirements will receive free Zearn Math school accounts for the 2025-2026 school year (including summer 2025), as well as two 90-minute virtual trainings. Selected schools also may be eligible to receive free, virtual coaching and on-site training from the Zearn team to support implementation. Districts and schools can indicate their interest in receiving Zearn coaching in the application available on the Department’s Accelerating Learning in Mathematics webpage.
The application should be completed by a district-level administrator (one submission per district). More information can be found on the Department’s website.
