Dataset last updated January 28, 2026.

Overview

The Learner Variability Navigator dataset takes individual students’ characteristics into account when recommending instructional practices to help them reach their learning goals.


Source	Learner Variability Tool from Digital Promise® ↗
Supported grades	PK-12
Includes	Learner Variability Navigator Math Learner Variability Navigator English Language Arts (ELA)

Use cases

Use case	Examples
Support diverse learners with research-backed strategies	Recommend a strategy like “Peer teaching” for learners with working memory challenges Input an academic standard and your student’s factors to get relevant instructional strategies

Entities and relationships

The data connects student context and learning goals to instructional strategies with the following entities and relationships:


Data model
Entities	`LearnerModel` Grade- and subject-specific profile (e.g. Math 3–6) `Factor` Research-backed element that influences learning (e.g. Working memory) `Strategy` Instructional practice that supports learning (e.g. Peer teaching) `StandardsFrameworkItem` (defined in Academic Standards) Standard linked via `relevantToStandard` (e.g. 6.EE.A.2)
Relationships	`LearnerModel` → `hasFactor` → `Factor` (e.g. Math 3–6 → Working memory) `LearnerModel` → `hasStrategy` → `Strategy` (e.g. Math 3–6 → Peer teaching) `Factor` → `interactsWithFactor` → `Factor` (e.g. Working memory ↔ Attention) `Strategy` → `targetsFactor` → `Factor` (e.g. Peer teaching → Math communication) `Factor` → `relevantToStandard` → `StandardsFrameworkItem` (e.g. Algebraic reasoning → 6.EE.A.2)
