An evaluation report by Johns Hopkins School of Education in 2019 found that overall perceptions of Zearn Math were very positive, with the smaller group model of the curriculum a particular strength. Differences in achievement gains were small but "statistically significant" and the report recommended further support be provided for independent learning and individual needs.
EduRecoveryHub, launched in partnership with the Collaborative for Student Success, The Center on Reinventing Public Education at Arizona State University, and the Edunomics Lab at Georgetown University commended the Tennessee Department of Education and its statewide implementation of Zearn’s math instruction progress monitoring system. EduRecoveryHub also spotlighted Zearn’s implementation in Nebraska. McKinsey & Company also released a report that examines prevailing pandemic-related challenges facing students and teachers and cited Zearn’s work in Nebraska. Finally, Zearn received ratings by individual states including Louisiana, New Mexico, and Utah. Additionally, Tennessee approved Zearn as a curriculum provider in 2022.[6] [7] [1] [8] Greg Henderson ( talk) 16:10, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
Comment to responding editor: Covert editing occurred in the creation of this article. It was originally an undisclosed paid article and the act of UPE was caught just a few days ago.

Change "Its online program, Zearn Math, was founded in 2012 and helps elementary school students explore and make sense of mathematical concepts." to: "Its online program, Zearn Math, was founded in 2012[1] and helps elementary school students[2] "and middle school students" explore and make sense of mathematical concepts.[1]"Note that instead of ref tags, we have [1] and [2] used, giving us no idea of which references these are pointing to. In the section of the proposal marked
Add the following under Reviews sectionwe have 3 properly formatted ref tags, but they are placed at the end of the section. A perusal of all three references shows that all three do not verify all of the text in this section, thus, integrity is not being followed. The proposed text changes also do not point to any references to be consulted in order to verify the requested changes. The typo appears to have been corrected. Spintendo 20:26, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

Of all your COI articles, why are you so, to put it bluntly, pushy about the template tag on this article in particular? This is your third time in about three weeks you've asked to remove the template tag. There's no deadline! You didn't even ask what corrections should be implemented when you asked and instead just specifically asked to have the tag removed. At the same time, you've been asking for the insertion of press release based contents. @ Netherzone:, you've been quite active working on Henderson related articles. Any thought about the removal? I'm the one who put the tag... and I'm feeling it might be better if someone else reviewed it and make the decision to remove independently of Hederson's persistence.

Zearn holds one of the largest data setsin Wikivoice, but the source attributes this statement to the company's founder:
Zearn holds one of the largest data sets on how children learn math, says Zearn CEO and cofounder Shalinee Sharma. This is the kind of thing that needs to be fixed, and it's typical for articles written by paid actors. – bradv 14:58, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
Notes
"since the tag is now placed on the Talk page, there's no need to keep it on the article page, as the cleanup has been completed". This is a misunderstanding of how maintenance templates work. The placement of WP:DCOI-type templates on an article's talk page have no bearing on the main article page's maintenance templates.

Hi, I would like to make an edit request on behalf of Zearn. The company is no longer working with Greg Henderson but we realize that any internal requests for page edits should be made here and would appreciate assistance editing the page. BywayCaverns ( talk) 22:01, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
Would like to add the following information to the main "History" section, below the second paragraph:
"Zearn also provides Curriculum Study Professional Development (CS PD), which is designed to teach pedagogical content knowledge to elementary school teachers. [1] The curriculum is built upon the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework, and provides features including differentiated pacing, manipulatives, and virtual representations of problems to allow for personalized learning. [2] It follows the Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract framework, in which students are first taught using manipulatives, before progressing to pictorial representations of problems, and finally learning to solve problems abstractly. [3]"
This additional information adds basic information about the educational framework used by Zearn and how it was developed. Readers can also keep the pros and cons of these educational models in mind, which helps to understand the curriculum a little better.

The opening sentence of the article currently says:
"Zearn is an American nonprofit educational software organization. Its online program, Zearn Math, was founded in 2012[1] and helps elementary school students[2] explore and make sense of mathematical concepts.[1]"
It would be more neutral and more accurate if it said:
"Zearn is an American nonprofit educational software organization. Its online program, Zearn Math, was founded in 2012[1] and helps elementary and middle school students[2] learn mathematical concepts.[1]"

The following should be added to the "History" section:
"In July 2023, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine announced that the Ohio Department of Education had made Zearn accessible to all Ohio school districts serving students in the 6th, 7th and 8th grades through June 2025 as part of an initiative to reverse the negative Impact of COVID-19 on education." [1] [2]
"As of December 2023, Zearn was available to all Colorado school districts, and was being used by 65% of them." [3]
"In January 2024, the Virginia Department of Education announced that Zearn would be made available across all Virginia school districts as part of the Virginia Literacy Act, which aims to address learning loss and absenteeism." [4]
These changes would update the article and provide more information about Zearn's usage in the U.S. public school system. BywayCaverns ( talk) 11:30, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
