Carnegie Learning Now Available to Homeschool Market
Carnegie Learning has developed an offering priced and packaged specifically to meet the unique needs of Homeschool students and teachers. The seven curricula are available at http://store.carnegielearning.com and may be purchased as a full text and software program, or as a software-only supplement to other math textbooks. All software purchases include a Teacher's Toolkit, a report that provides parents with a daily view of the student's progress. Independent studies of implementations demonstrate that Carnegie Learning's unique "learning by doing" approach is proven to improve standardized test scores, student attitudes toward math and problem solving and critical thinking skills.
