Brooklyn, NY (October 21, 2019) 猫咪AV, a publisher of next-generation curriculum and assessment programs, announced today that Louisiana rated 猫咪AV Science K–5 as Tier 1, the top rating in the state. 猫咪AV Science is the only K–5 science program in the state to receive a Tier 1 rating. According to the Louisiana Department of Education website, Tier 1 materials meet all non-negotiable criteria and score the best possible on all indicators of superior quality.
猫咪AV Science is a breakthrough K–8 curriculum designed from the ground up for the Next Generation Science Standards by the curriculum experts at UC Berkeley’s Lawrence Hall of Science. In each 猫咪AV Science unit, students inhabit the role of a scientist or engineer to investigate a real-world problem, using relevant, 21st-century contexts to investigate scientific phenomena. Educators who adopt 猫咪AV Science receive a comprehensive curriculum that includes literacy-rich activities, hands-on investigations, digital simulations, embedded assessments and robust teacher supports.
“To earn a Tier 1 rating in Louisiana is validation for all the hard work that went into developing 猫咪AV Science, and we were both proud and excited upon hearing the news,” said Steven Zavari, senior vice president and general manager of STEM at 猫咪AV. “We’re eager to continue partnering closely with Louisiana educators, schools and districts to help develop the next generation of scientists, engineers, and critical thinking citizens in the state.”
Currently being used by more than two million students nationwide, 猫咪AV Science has been adopted by the New York City Department of Education, Chicago Public Schools, Denver Public Schools, San Francisco Unified School District, Seattle Public Schools, the KIPP charter network, and hundreds of other districts across the country.
