Tempe, Arizona — September 18, 2025 — Imagine Learning, the nation’s largest provider of digital K–12 curriculum solutions, is proud to highlight Vice Chairman and Chief Strategy Officer Sari Factor‘s recent appearance on The Education Equation podcast with host Jeremy Singer, President of College Board. The episode offers a compelling discussion on the future of K–12 education, curriculum development, and how educators must adapt to meet the diverse needs of students in a rapidly changing landscape.
Factor shares insights spanning her 40+ years in education, as well as the urgent need to address recent National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) results signifying students’ struggles with math and literacy. This conversation emphasized the power of knowledge-based literacy and problem-based math to drive deeper learning for students — as demonstrated by the School District of Philadelphia, where Imagine Learning’s high-quality instructional materials are making a measurable impact.
“We need to rethink what we teach, how we teach it, and how we prepare students for a lifetime of learning,” said Factor. “Imagine Learning is committed to helping schools make that leap.”

Teachers using the tool return student writing nearly nine hours faster on average, giving students more timely and actionable feedback.
Tempe, Arizona – September 16, 2025 – Imagine Learning, the leading provider of digital-first PreK–12 solutions, today announced new findings on the impact of its AI-powered feedback capability in Imagine EdgeEX™, the company’s next-generation courseware platform for grades 9–12. Data from the 2024–25 school year show that educators using AI-powered feedback return assignments 28% faster on average than peers, reducing turnaround by nearly nine hours and ensuring students act on comments while their work is still fresh.
Launched for Back to School 2024, the capability reflects Imagine Learning’s Curriculum-Informed AI™ philosophy — AI purpose-built for education, grounded in research, aligned to high-quality instructional materials, and designed to support, not replace, teacher expertise.
Rapid adoption across classrooms
Since launch, AI-powered feedback has been used more than 57,000 times in 272 schools and 185 districts, with adoption strongest in English language arts and expanding into social studies, science, and math. Seventy-five percent of all short-writing comments in Imagine EdgeEX now include AI input, with usage peaking during high grading periods such as August, January, and June.
Clear benefits for teachers and students
Teachers using AI-powered feedback average 23 hours to return assignments, compared to 32 hours for non-users, and 1 in 8 assignments receive feedback in just one hour. Educators report that faster turnaround not only saves them valuable time but also increases the likelihood of student learning gains.
Teachers are also using the tool to create richer, multi-dimensional feedback. In spring 2025, 58% of teachers used AI-powered feedback. Of those teachers, 61% incorporated multiple AI-suggested comments into their responses, with nearly 18,000 instances drawing on two or more suggestions and some using as many as eight. The tool acts as a professional thought partner, helping teachers enhance the depth of feedback while keeping full control over what is shared.
A responsible approach to AI in education
“When 75% of teachers choose to incorporate AI suggestions into their feedback, they’re not being replaced, they’re being empowered, said Jason Fournier, VP of AI Initiatives at Imagine Learning. “Nine hours saved per assignment cycle means feedback arrives while the learning moment is still alive. That’s the difference between AI that disrupts and AI that delivers.”
Building on this success, Imagine Learning expanded AI-powered feedback to rubric-based essays in May 2025 and plans to extend support across its curricula. Each innovation follows the same guiding principles: grounded in pedagogy, shaped by teacher voice, and focused on measurable student outcomes.

New core English Language Arts solution combines skills, knowledge, and dynamic media to prepare students for the future.
Tempe, Arizona — September 3, 2025 — Imagine Learning, the nation’s largest provider of digital K–12 curriculum solutions, today announced the launch of Dragonfly, a new K–5 English Language Arts program designed to put knowledge at the center of literacy instruction.
In today’s classrooms, the need for deep, connected knowledge has never been greater. Research shows that students become stronger readers when they build background and vocabulary across rich, meaningful topics. Dragonfly makes this possible by pairing the science of reading with authentic texts, explicit skills, and original media in a clear, consistent structure that makes high-quality instruction easier to deliver — and creates a literacy experience that builds skills and knowledge together, every single day.
“Our goal in creating Dragonfly was to design a curriculum that truly engages and challenges young learners — teaching reading in a way that sparks imagination and fuels curiosity about the world,” said Robert Romano, GM of Core Humanities at Imagine Learning. “Knowledge is the key to understanding. By blending skills instruction, authentic texts, and dynamic media, Dragonfly empowers students to make connections, think critically, and develop a deeper understanding of their world and their place in it.”
Why Knowledge Matters — Lift Off with Dragonfly
Too often, literacy instruction focuses only on discrete skills, leaving students without the background knowledge that fuels comprehension. Dragonfly changes that. Each module is rooted in content-rich topics that broaden students’ horizons while strengthening the reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills that unlock future learning.
With Dragonfly, teachers and students can expect:

For Students:
“Every classroom is full of unique learners, and every teacher is balancing limited time with big expectations,” said Kinsey Rawe, EVP and Chief Product Officer at Imagine Learning. “Dragonfly was built to meet students where they are, providing the right support at the right time, and set them up with the knowledge and skills they need to thrive in literacy, not just in school, but in life.”
A Literacy Program That Connects the Dots
Dragonfly’s Knowledge Building and Foundational Skills program unites phonics, fluency, comprehension, writing, speaking, and listening into one clear instruction arc — while ensuring every activity builds towards deeper understanding. With embedded assessments, tools for real-time differentiation, and consistent instructional routines, Dragonfly will inspire confidence in educators and give students purpose.
Ready to Lift Off with Literacy and See Knowledge in Action?
Be among the first to take flight with Dragonfly! Starting in the 2025–26 school year, pilots will be available in school districts nationwide, with full classroom availability coming in 2026–27. Explore samples, digital previews, and more now at ImagineLearning.com/Dragonfly
