Grades 3–6 Student Results in California, Colorado, Michigan, and Minnesota Districts Proven Solutions 2.5x Growth in Proficiency for Students Using Benchmark Advance/Adelante Building Literacy and Language for Life ™ ® ® Building Literacy and Language for Life ™ ® ® Dear Educator, We are living through a time of unprecedented challenges in our country and around the world. In the wake of school closings, teachers have been separated from their students, and parents have improvised to help their children learn from home. The need for effective distance learning resources has never been so urgent. We are gratified to be able to meet this need. You will find a Distance Learning symbol throughout this catalog—highlighting for you our many online and hybrid learning programs. From iTeacher’s Resource Systems to E-Books to eAssessment to Virtual Professional Learning and so much more, our digital content delivers all the rigor of its print counterpart and is designed for remote and blended learning contexts. We have created hybrid programs for more than a decade, and we are poised to support you, and the children who count on you, now. We salute your dedication and resilience, as we also extend our sympathy to those who have been directly impacted by the pandemic. Like you, we look to a return to normalcy—perhaps a new kind of normal. We will be with you through the journey that gets us there.
