æģ²„app, a company that creates next-generation curriculum and assessment programs, announced today that its science curriculum has been approved by the New Mexico Public Education Department and can now be purchased and implemented in classrooms across the state. Ā Ā
Each grade level was evaluated by the Department and required to meet an average 90% score threshold in order to be adopted. æģ²„app Science exceeded expectations and was the only program to get a 100% on an individual grade level.
Developed in partnership with UC Berkeleyās, æģ²„app Science puts students in the roles of scientists and engineers every day, engaging them in understanding and explaining compelling real-world phenomena. Educators who adopt Amplify Science receive a comprehensive curriculum complete with detailed lesson plans, embedded formative assessments, hands-on activities, digital simulations, and robust teacher supports.
āWe are eager to begin talking to educators across New Mexico about our highly-rated program,ā said Steven Zavari, senior vice president and general manager, science curriculum, at Amplify. āOur pedagogy invites students to explore phenomena with the purpose of solving authentic problems. We want to create a generation of students who think like scientists and engineers, and who will become the innovators and informed citizens that New Mexico needs.ā Ā
æģ²„app Science is currently in use by more than one million students after launching in spring 2017. In addition to being adopted in California, æģ²„app Science has been adopted by the New York City Department of Education, Chicago Public Schools, Denver Public Schools, San Francisco Unified, the KIPP charter network, and hundreds of districts across the country.
