SAS® Curriculum Pathways® Best Instructional Solution for Reading/English

SAS Curriculum Pathways, used by thousands of educators in all 50 states, has again earned a Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA) CODiE Award, this year for Best Reading/English Instructional Solution. Available at no cost to all US educators, SAS Curriculum Pathways is an online resource for students and teachers in high schools, community colleges, virtual schools and home settings.

Also a finalist in the Best Online Instructional Solution category, SAS Curriculum Pathways was last year’s winner of Best K-12 Instructional Solution. SAS Curriculum Pathways provides content in the core disciplines of English, mathematics, social studies, science and Spanish for grades 8-14. Aligned with state standards, its more than 200 InterActivities and 600 ready-to-use lessons apply technology-rich instruction to engage higher-order thinking skills.

“We are honored to receive such recognition from our peers,” said Bruce Friend, Director of SAS Curriculum Pathways. “The quality of these resources at any price would make SAS Curriculum Pathways ideal for schools and districts; but as a no-cost offering in the face of drastic budget cuts, it is an unparalleled opportunity for US educators.”

Designed for wide-ranging classroom environments, technology capabilities and learning styles, SAS Curriculum Pathways can be used flexibly – in one-computer classrooms, virtual schools, small groups and 1-to-1 computing initiatives.

Established in 1986, the CODiE Awards celebrate outstanding achievement and vision in the software, digital information and education technology industries. Nearly 190 judges encompassing tech trade journalists, consultants, educators, IT and product specialists, and other knowledgeable experts reviewed all of the products entered to select the 345 finalists.
