Developed by the Center for Curriculum Innovation (CCI)

The LHS Center for Curriculum Innovation (CCI)creates instructional materials in mathematics and science for preschool through 12th graders for use by students, teachers and other educators, parents and families. Experienced teams of LHS educators contribute to research, theory, and the creation of high standards for science and mathematics learning. The Center also builds and maintains professional networks to provide ongoing support and education in the use of these innovative materials and methods. CCI materials and products are also actively used as tools to promote innovation through the LHS Center for School Change.

Increased emphasis on accountability and high academic achievement have led to the development of national and state standards in many disciplines, including mathematics and science. Programs of the LHS Center for Curriculum Innovation can provide strong support to states, districts, schools, and teachers as they seek to meet and exceed these standards.

Famed for their ability to actively involve all students and teachers, LHS instructional materials are challenging and rigorous—research-based and classroom tested for educational effectiveness. Units and courses developed by LHS convey pivotal concepts and help students develop essential abilities and can be used as strong support to the educational goals of the National Science Education Standards, National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) Standards as well as state frameworks and district guidelines.

Family and parent programs, as well as multimedia and web interactives, maintain the same high standards of excellence.

Well-established programs such as:
EQUALS/FAMILY MATH
Full Option Science System (FOSS)
Great Explorations in Math and Science (GEMS)
Marine Activities and Resources in Education (MARE)
PEACHES, a program for early childhood educators
Science Education for Public Understanding Program (SEPUP)
reach many millions of students nationwide and around the world.

New programs are always being developed at LHS, including:
Global Systems Science (GSS)
Hands-On Universe (HOU)
Seeds of Science • Roots of Reading
Student Radon Research (SRR)


All of these programs and the other great CCI publications and products share the educational goals of Lawrence Hall of Science. What's more—they work well together! Many educators have combined them in creative ways to meet the needs of their own situations and diverse audiences.

We'd welcome hearing about the ways you've used the publications and products of the LHS Center for Curriculum Innovation!
