Why did ELA choose K12 for Math?
K12 Math was selected because it more fully and completely fits the mission and vision of Early Light Academy. Saxon is a quality program as well, but K12 offers a more hands-on, interactive approach to learning that is more multi-sensory. It also provides more consistency and greater integration since K12 is the curriculum we are using in other content areas (science, art and history). The content recommended in the Core Knowledge Sequence is one major foundation of the K curriculum. K is also built upon analysis and comparison of state standards; curricular recommendations of prominent professional organizations (such as the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the National Council for History Education); and extensive research into the cognitive psychology behind effective learning, with a focus on the structure of knowledge in each academic discipline, as well as common misconceptions that block effective learning
