Carnegie Learning, a publisher of K-12 mathematics curricula and professional development services, has announced that the Georgia Department of Education has approved Carnegie Learning's vertically aligned sequence of middle school and high school textbooks and personalised instructional software as adopted curricula through 2018.
This is the first adoption of mathematics resources under the new CCGPS standards implemented by the Georgia State Board of Education as part of the national Common Core State Standards initiative. The new standards are designed to provide a consistent framework that prepares students for success in college and the 21st century workplace. In addition to setting new, more rigorous expectations for student performance, the CCGPS also provide educators with a clear, focused set of expectations against which they can assess student progress.
Carnegie Learning programs are based on more than two decades of cognitive science research at Carnegie Mellon University. The curricula are designed to meet the new CCGPS objectives for increased student performance in mathematics and robust job-embedded support for teachers and administrators making the transition to the new common core standards.
Carnegie Learning math curricula are currently implemented in schools in 48 states and in 17 states through instructional materials adoptions.
