The Sante Fe New Mexican included our CEO’s thoughts on tailored acceleration, gauging student readiness, and providing teachers the tools they need to promote student growth.

Research from New Classrooms demonstrates that teaching children at-level can exacerbate the difficulties they face as they move through the school system.”
