Product Research That Supports Improved Learner Outcomes

From formative research and field-based inquiries to summative and efficacy research, Savvas products are rigorously and repeatedly tested to determine how they can best support the important work teachers do every day in the classroom. Our experienced Research Team measures program efficacy through scientific studies that evaluate how well our products meet the diverse needs of all learners. We work closely with educators and schools to highlight district success using our learning solutions.

Our research process for product design and development involves a three-tiered approach where we:

Explore

Examine existing literature and investigate the needs of educators and students.

Design

Generate a product vision, develop concepts, and iteratively test prototypes in simulated and contextual environments.

Evaluate

Measure the implementation and effectiveness of a product, as well as gain insights into educators’ experiences using it in the classroom.
