SAS® Curriculum Pathways® is now available at no cost [FREE!] to every educator in America, including virtual school programs. That announcement was recently made by SAS®, a North Carolina based software company. The product is already being used by thousands of teachers in more than 30 states.
SAS Curriculum Pathways provides content in the core disciplines: English, mathematics, social studies, science and Spanish. Aligned with state and national standards, the product provides more than 200 InterActivities and 855 ready-to-use lessons that enable technology-rich instruction and engage higher-order thinking skills. The product is primarily for use in grades 8 to 12, though middle school content is in development.
Designed for a wide range of classroom environments, technology capabilities and learning styles, SAS Curriculum Pathways can be used flexibly—in online courses, a one-computer classroom, in small groups or in 1:1 computing initiatives where every student and teacher has a computer.
SAS Curriculum Pathways won the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA) 2008 CODiE Award for Best K-12 Instructional Solution. The product is also used in community colleges, virtual schools and home settings.
Online educators can integrate resources that help to differentiate instruction and develop critical-thinking skills. Integrating rigorous content with innovative instructional design, the product prepares students for college-level learning, promotes 21st-century skills and helps meet achievement and accountability criteria.
