Cognitive Tutor Receives Support Despite Federal Study
April 10, 2007
Despite a federal study that found no difference in academic achievement between students who use technology-based math products and those who don't, administrators at Everett School District in Washington are sticking with Carnegie Learning's Cognitive Tutor. Everett has used the high-school Cognitive Tutor program for two years, and so far, is very happy with the program. According to an article in the Everett, Washington Herald, one teacher has noticed larger gains on the Washington Assessment of Student Learning math exam among her Cognitive Tutor students than those in her traditional classroom. The federal report posted to the Education Department's web site on April 5th, was the first part of a 2 year study, commissioned in the No Child Left Behind Act.
