Our Solutions

LITERACY

Our research-based literacy solutions accelerate student learning and achievement. Through our programs, students learn foundational and advanced literacy concepts—from comprehension to compositional writing to critical thinking
skills—that translate across all content areas and literacy intervention.

All LITERACY

MATH

Our core curriculum and targeted supplemental solutions are research-based interventions and adhere to the National Mathematics Advisory Panel’s recommendations. Students achieve success through meaningful practice, discussions, progress monitoring, concrete and visual models of concepts and procedures.

All Math

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Our professional development products and services connect educators, researchers, and authors to improve teachers’ impact in the classroom. Ranging from literacy, to math, to classroom management and behavior, these resources engage educators in meaningful content and actionable, evidence-based practices.

What if Everyone Excelled in Math?

There is a common tendency today to link higher math standards for our students with the kind of achievement we see in other countries. A complementary thread is to link high standards in math to the broad trends in our ever-changing, information economy. High school students with only a basic understanding of mathematics don’t stand a chance against machines. High standards proponents commonly refer to our marquee industries such as finance, information technology, engineering, and biomedicine to reinforce the idea that mathematics is a gateway to a successful career. By implication, we need to ensure all students are proficient in this discipline. But, is this the case?

Join this enlightening, informative discussion with Dr. John Woodward, author of TransMath, as he explores what kind of mathematical preparation today’s students need to be successful in life.

As he explores how and why an alarming number of adults struggle with basic concepts in probability, common statistical concepts such as variance, and proportional change such as percent increase and decrease, he’ll share what needs to be strengthened in math education today.

You’ll learn:

How to build continuous success in mathematics so that it leads to a passing grade in college algebra, allowing many students to continue on to community college or trade schools immediately following high school so the math they have learned is not lost.
To consider other options than the traditional approach, such as some kind of “college in the high school” version of algebra.
How to improve motivation by helping struggling high school students learn the long-term benefits of subjects like Algebra II. It’s not about the math, it’s about the career.

Dr. John Woodward is the lead author of TransMath^® and NUMBERS.
