Building a Successful Implementation of Cognitive Tutor® Curricula
The Carnegie Learning Cognitive Tutor curriculum is a powerful tool for teaching and learning mathematics. Independent studies show that our research-based approach significantly improves student motivation, engagement, and achievement. To ensure that every implementation of Cognitive Tutor yields successful results, Carnegie Learning offers a comprehensive Professional Development program, delivered by Certified Implementation Specialists (CIS) using best practices knowledge of our curricula and years of classroom mathematics experience.
Our Professional Development programs provide teachers with the experience, insight, and support needed to grow as more reflective practitioners. Our emphasis is on aligning teaching to learning using standards-based curriculum, student-centered instruction, and the integration of technology. Throughout the sessions teachers learn best practices based on the latest research in How People Learn and are provided with the opportunity to see them in practice both from the perspective of a student and as a teacher. The workshops emphasize Learning by Doing™ where the role of the teacher is to facilitate student interaction, communication, and problem solving.
