IM CERTIFIED PARTNERS
IMpowering Educators
When you see the IM Certified®️ stamp, you know you’re working with a partner who shares our vision: to create a world where all learners know, use, and enjoy mathematics. Our IM Certified partners are leaders in education who’ve passed a rigorous, multi-step vetting process led by Illustrative Mathematics®️, a leading nonprofit organization in the mathematics education space.
Only a limited number of organizations are granted the IM Certified license. Each is evaluated for mission alignment, product quality, and an unwavering commitment to educational equity and impact. Through this exclusive partnership, these organizations earn the right to display IM’s trusted name and trademarks—symbols of integrity, innovation, and impact.
Why IM Certified®️ Matters:
- Proven Quality & Outcomes – Every IM Certified solution is research-informed and IM-endorsed—assured to have the rigor, structure, and coherence as intended by the IM authors. IM Certified products and services align with practices shown to improve math learning outcomes.
- Shared Values—IM Certified partners are mission-aligned and equity-driven.
- Quality Professional Learning Expertise—IM Certified facilitators undergo rigorous training directly from IM, and the professional learning experience provides educators with the tools, strategies, and ongoing support necessary to effectively implement IM Certified curricula.
- Limited & Vetted—IM certification is exclusive, not bought. It’s earned. Through numerous case studies and ongoing, active research collaborations, IM understands what inspires, uplifts, and encourages learners to know, use, and enjoy mathematics.
When it comes to choosing educational partners, don’t just hope they’re great—look for the IM Certified®️ stamp of approval.
