We're very fond of Clarke County, Georgia. Yes, it's home to Athens and the University of Georgia. But we're especially fond of...
...summer school test results! (Well, who isn't?) This past summer, Clarke County 8th graders in summer school used our new Georgia Academic Support Program Comprehensive Mathematics, Grade 8. According to Clarke County School District Mathematics Coach Glenda Huff, “The 8th grade teachers loved the resource. The planning time was cut in half for a summer program that was packed with content.” Just as significantly, students using the program saw their test results rise 12.8%, from pre-test to post-test.
It's one thing to develop and publish programs that you think make a difference in the classroom. It's another thing to see some concrete proof.
