Youth-Education Facility Opens to
Enhance Learning Opportunities for Students in Southern California
ANAHEIM, CA, February 10, 2006 – Carnegie Learning®, a leading research-based mathematics curricula provider, announced that the company’s Cognitive Tutor® solutions have been selected as part of the middle school and high school math programs offered at the Tiger Woods Learning Center, an innovative youth-education facility that opened today in Anaheim, California.
Working closely with school districts in Southern California, the Tiger Woods Learning Center’s full-time staff of educators has developed a series of programs and resources that will augment students’ current school curricula. Among these resources is Carnegie Learning’s new Bridge to Algebra course, an algebra readiness curriculum designed specifically for students whose past math performance indicates little chance of success in algebra. Carnegie Learning’s suite of proven, research-based curricula integrate interactive software sessions, text, and student-centered classroom lessons into a unique learning platform that emphasizes real-world problem solving and mathematics literacy. Carnegie Learning’s Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II courses will also be available at the Center.
“Carnegie Learning is honored and proud to be a part of the Tiger Woods Learning Center’s visionary goal to give students a safe place to explore their dreams, imagine new possibilities, and start on a career path that will keep them engaged in learning,” said Dennis Ciccone, CEO of Carnegie Learning.
