PORTLAND, Ore.--(Business Wire)--

ready-to-go online curriculum designed to cultivate both students' skills and
their interest in science, technology, engineering and math. Districts and
schools can now purchase Learning.com's supplemental math, science and
technology curriculum together in one package, and with the ability to mix,
match and customize the content.

from the earliest grades in science, math and technology to keep them interested
in these subjects in their later school years.

find challenging to teach. The STEM solution includes:

Teachers can mix and match curriculum from all of these solutions to customize
scope and sequences, differentiate learning, and build cross-curricular
connections. Online tools make it easy for teachers to create, save and
integrate their own proven lessons with Learning.com curriculum to individualize
instruction.
