We look forward to partnering with instructors across Kentucky to help them help their students to succeed in math by implementing our scientifically based curricula.” Clinton County School District in Kentucky has been using the Carnegie Learning™ Math Solutions since 2006 when the district purchased Carnegie Learning™ Bridge to Algebra, Algebra I, and Geometry programs. Clinton County Schools added Carnegie Learning™ Algebra II this academic year. “Through the implementation of Carnegie Learning math curricula in our classrooms, our middle and high schools have seen tremendous gains on our state math assessment scores,” said Paula Little, Clinton County School District Instructional Supervisor. “This is the first mathematics curriculum I have seen that is so broadly embraced by the students.” In addition to being adopted in Kentucky, Carnegie Learning Math Solutions are at the forefront of education transformation initiatives nationwide and are currently implemented in urban, suburban, and rural regions including Chattanooga, Los Angeles, Miami-Dade, and Chicago, and as part of state-wide initiatives in West Virginia, Washington, and Georgia, where the Carnegie Learning™ Georgia Mathematics 1 textbook was adopted earlier this year.
