Independent National Nonprofit Awards Top Ratings to Agile Mind's Middle and High School Math Programs
GRAPEVINE, Texas, Nov. 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Agile Mind's high school mathematics programs have received top ratings from EdReports.org, an independent nonprofit that delivers evidence-based review of instructional materials. This evaluation ranks Agile Mind's high school programs among those considered best in the nation. With the review of Agile Mind's middle school programs completed earlier this summer, Agile Mind is now the only publisher to receive top marks by EdReports.org for both middle and high school math.
The promise of powerful learning standards can only be realized when teachers and students have access to high quality, aligned materials to support classroom instruction. EdReports.org works with expert educators to offer independent reviews of curricula in three gateways: focus and coherence, rigor and mathematics practices, and usability. Top ranked in all three categories, Agile Mind has been identified as a premier provider of programs that can be used to transform the teaching and learning of mathematics.
"Agile Mind's math programs have been pivotal in transforming the teaching and learning experience in our schools," said Dr. Dianne Kelly, Superintendent of Revere Public Schools. "Since implementing Agile Mind's as our core programs in 2013, we've been able to see a real, measurable difference in the outcomes for our students. The program challenges students in a way that both provides access to rigorous content and encourages academic achievement."
In addition to daily job-embedded support for teachers, Agile Mind's programs provide lessons that emphasize problem solving and critical thinking within real-world contexts, and feature next-generation formative assessments that personalize students' learning experiences. The Charles A. Dana Center at the University of Texas at Austin is the author of their instructional content and professional support resources.
"We are thrilled to meet the expectations of EdReports.org's thorough review process. We seek to offer all students the opportunity to thrive with meaningful academic experiences that meet the rigor of the standards, and that prepare them for success in their future academic and professional pursuits." says Linda Chaput, Agile Mind founder and CEO.
