Thrively is excited to announce that, following an evaluation by a third-party research partner, we have earned Level IV Certification for our alignment with the standards outlined in the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA).

This achievement represents an important step in validating the effectiveness of Thrively’s asset-based model for reducing equity gaps, increasing student achievement, decreasing disciplinary infractions, improving school climate and culture, and increasing teacher satisfaction and retention.

ESSA’s tiers of evidence help districts ensure that interventions in schools are backed by robust research and meet the criteria for federal and state grant programs including ESSER II/III.
