Aligned with Your Standards, Built on Research

Our programs make your science and mathematics standards come alive. Our authors are top-tier researchers and brilliant educators whose work is supported by the National Science Foundation and other esteemed institutions.

Doing Science and Math,
Every Day

Students engage in authentic projects where they act as scientists, engineers, and problem-solvers. They work with their hands, model with technology, deliberate with their peers, and record their thinking in multiple formats.

Active Support for the
Art of Teaching

We give teachers the support they need to engage students with phenomena, facilitate productive discourse, and differentiate instruction. Our programs embed just-in-time professional learning materials, developed by fellow educators, in every lesson.

"IQWST has played a major role in raising test scores at P.K Yonge Developmental Research School. We progressed from a 59% to a 73% passing rate on Florida’s 8th grade state science assessment since implementing IQWST over a 6 year period. Now, our students rank among the highest achieving districts in Florida!"

“We are excited about the high levels of engagement in our IMP classrooms. Students are using their own thinking and reasoning to dig into complex problems and are eager to share that thinking with others. We are confident they will do well on our state assessment where students need to be strong sense-makers who persevere rather than giving up when a problem doesn't look familiar.”

Swallow School District, Hartland, WI

"We LOVE IQWST and the huge difference it has already made in our middle school science program. Already in the first two months of the school year students have completed more labs than what they did the entire year using the prior curriculum. The transition from individual learning and performance in science to small group learning and inquiry activities is exactly what our students need for their futures and a wonderful change."

Graham Fletcher

Math Specialist, Atlanta, Georgia

"Conceptua Math is unique in the way that it supports teachers and best practice. With this program in their hands, teachers can engage students in the Standards for Mathematical Practice every day."
