The Imagine Learning Language Advantage™

“In our fifteen years of working with schools and districts of all sizes, we continually see the passion in educators and their drive to take the necessary steps to ensure students are equipped with 21st Century skills,” stated Jeremy Cowdrey, Chief Executive Officer of Imagine Learning.

PROVO, Utah (PRWEB)
January 28, 2020

Imagine Learning, a leading educational technology company providing digital curriculum for PreK through 8th grade students, today released a new series of Impact Stories. The stories highlight schools and districts achieving exemplary results in implementing programs leading to increased positive student outcomes. Each month, Imagine Learning will feature a school or district through a 4-6 page Impact Story, sharing the stories of significant and ongoing student achievements. These stories feature growth and gains in using Imagine Learning adaptive programs in literacy and math and detail the challenges, solutions, and results of the school or district from varying demographics.

“In our fifteen years of working with schools and districts of all sizes, we continually see the passion in educators and their drive to take the necessary steps to ensure students are equipped with 21st Century skills,” stated Jeremy Cowdrey, Chief Executive Officer of Imagine Learning. “We share these stories to create the opportunity for replication and collegial dialog for improving student outcomes.”

With a district-wide implementation of Imagine Language and Literacy, Meriden Public Schools, Connecticut, saw a 35% increase in the number of students in grades 3-8 scoring a Level 4, Exceeds, on the Smarter Balanced Assessment for English language arts. Due to these impressive results, Meriden Public Schools is featured in Imagine Learning’s first Impact Story and also named as the first Imagine Learning Impact District. To earn this honor, districts that qualified have displayed proven student achievement through multiple measures of program effectiveness and have completed a rigorous scientific research study with the Imagine Learning research team. This includes an analysis of reliable and valid student achievement data and demonstrated growth in district administered assessments. Selected districts cultivate a strong culture and innovative learning environments with administrators and teachers who are transforming learning in their schools. The data-driven stories unfold through the experiences of the teachers, principals, students, and key district personnel.

As one of the most disadvantaged and low performing schools in Connecticut, Meriden Public School leaders were dedicated to finding a solution that would provide all students the opportunity to excel. “The district really looked at, how do we improve engagement, how do we improve the opportunities for students to learn at a pace that’s more rigorous and more differentiated, and they made the decision to go all-in with technology, and it worked,” stated Daniel Crispino, Director of School Leadership, former Principal of John Barry Elementary.

Meriden Public Schools implemented an Alliance District Plan with five focus areas, including climate & culture, core curriculum, instructional practices, data-driven decisions, and support and accountability. To support these focus areas, district leaders broadened their existing partnership with Imagine Learning, expanding implementation of the supplemental digital curriculum Imagine Language & Literacy to all K-5 elementary schools supporting and improving literacy achievement.

With the new approach to literacy instruction, students were exposed to 90-minutes of daily class and small group instruction, practice on the Imagine Language & Literacy supplemental digital curriculum, and other activities such as researching specific topics or independent reading. Across four years, measurable improvement showed a 12% increase in grade-level performance across elementary grade levels. It was evident in both English language arts and mathematics achievement on the 2018-2019 Smarter Balanced Assessment. The gains Meriden Public Schools achieved are the direct results of dedicated leaders and educators who care about equity, quality, and teaching.

For more than fifteen years, Imagine Learning’s foundation has been helping students acquire, develop, and strengthen the language skills necessary to succeed in academic settings. Imagine Language & Literacy reflects The Imagine Learning Language Advantage™, a theory of action founded on more than 15 years of research and product development that promote the rigorous and equitable acquisition of the language skills necessary to succeed in academic settings.

Howard Simpson

Howard Simpson set the standard for SGH. His critical thinking, technical expertise, and leadership were guideposts for SGH for his entire career and continue to inspire us today.

WALTHAM, Mass. (PRWEB)
January 27, 2020

Howard Simpson, a founder and first president of Simpson Gumpertz & Heger (SGH), died on 23 January 2020. Dr. Simpson established SGH in 1956 along with Frank Heger and Werner Gumpertz. His expertise in structural engineering and mechanics as applied to precision structures – such as radars, antennas, and radio and optical telescopes – and development of computer models of significant structures led SGH to quickly become one of the leading firms for solving complex engineering problems in structural mechanics. Dr. Simpson’s brilliant and business-minded outlook strongly contributed to the company’s success during his tenure as SGH’s first Chief Executive Officer (CEO) from 1983 to 1995 and as the head of the firm’s Engineering Mechanics division until 1989.

“Howard Simpson set the standard for SGH. His critical thinking, technical expertise, and leadership were guideposts for SGH for his entire career and continue to inspire us today,” said Charles Russo, SGH CEO and Senior Principal.

Dr. Simpson entered Cornell at the age of sixteen, where he earned his B.C.E. with Distinction. After serving in the U.S. Navy, he attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he earned both his S.M. and his Sc.D. in Civil Engineering. He served as a professor at MIT for twelve years, where he taught graduate courses in reinforced concrete, shell design, and structural analysis. He then brought his expertise in these fields to SGH, where his perseverance and technical acuity led to groundbreaking accomplishments on notable projects, such as NASA’s Vehicle Assembly Building at Kennedy Space Center in 1963, the Multiple Mirror Telescope at the Whipple Observatory in 1975, and the MIT Lincoln Laboratory Haystack radar antenna.

Dr. Simpson remained very active in his profession throughout his career, serving as a member and leader of many professional associations, including the American Society of Civil Engineers, Boston Society of Civil Engineers, Applied Technology Council, American Association for the Advancement of Science, Building Seismic Safety Council, American Arbitration Association, American Concrete Institute, and New York Academy of Sciences.

“Howard was a leader and innovator who helped push the AEC industry in many ways, including using computers in finite element analysis,” said Mehdi Zarghamee, SGH Senior Principal. “He set a great and lasting example for his peers at SGH and for all future engineers.”

Aside from his prestigious career and accomplishments, Howard had a true passion for traveling, poetry, and photography. He brought his enthusiasm for art and painting to SGH, where he co-led a museum art-lending program at the company’s headquarters.
