Cambium Learning Group Releases 2022 Impact Report Highlighting Outcomes for Students, Educators, Employees and Communities

Now serving 95% of U.S. school districts, the report demonstrates Cambium's commitment to helping teachers and students feel seen, valued and supported

Cambium Learning Group, a leading provider of award-winning education technology and services for K-12 markets, today released its inaugural 2022 Impact Report. The purpose of this report is to recognize and celebrate the significant momentum of the Cambium community in the K-12 education ecosystem, while also identifying needs and charting a clear course forward for deepening and widening support for educators, students, families and employees.

Challenges in K-12 education continue to compound. According to the most recent National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) results, less than 25% of 4th and 8th graders in poverty perform at grade level¹ and only 37% of 12th-grade students are reading at or above proficiency¹. Also of concern are results from the Merrimack College Teacher Survey, which reports that nearly 50% of teachers say they may quit within two years². These statistics underscore the importance and urgency of delivering solutions that make the greatest difference on the most critical challenges for the education community. As a scaled leader serving K-12 education, Cambium is uniquely able to help effectively address these challenges.

“There is much work to be done, and this work is fundamental to providing students with opportunity and access to a future. At the same time, there is cause for hope,” said Ashley Andersen Zantop, chairman and CEO of Cambium. “At Cambium, our purpose is to help every teacher and every student feel seen, valued and supported. As we’ve worked to fulfill that purpose, we’ve seen tremendous momentum from educators and students embracing new solutions and technology to address their needs. We’ve grown our community and the collective impact we make. Now, by identifying the meaningful change we create together, we set the foundation for measuring and driving this critical growth.”

Throughout the report, metrics and case studies provide insight into how Cambium is focused on impact. Examples include:

• 29M+ students served across 170+ countries, including 13.6M U.S. students that are Black, Indigenous, and/or people of color (BIPOC)
• 37% of K-12 teachers served in the U.S. across 95% of U.S. districts
• >40% of all K-12 students in the U.S. served by Cambium Assessment

The report also details how Cambium is scaling its team. According to 2022 data:

• 61% of Cambium employees are women
• 31% of Cambium employees are BIPOC
• >90% of Cambium employees work remotely as part of Cambium’s intentional Remote First program

Andersen Zantop continued, “I am grateful to each member of our Cambium community — whether you are a teacher, administrator, family member, employee, contractor, investor or student. Your tenacity and commitment to education build the bridge we use to walk into our shared future.”
