Developed by the Center for Curriculum Development and Implementation (CCDI)

The LHS Center for Curriculum Development and Implementation 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.

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 set by districts, states, and our nation.

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