Introduction to the Research

I CAN Learn® Education Systems is committed to ongoing assessment of the success of its programs using rigorous scientific methods of analyzing data collected from all of its sites throughout the United States. Beginning with the initial pilot evaluation in 1995, dozens of studies have shown the effectiveness of I CAN Learn® Algebra and Pre-Algebra in teaching students heretofore considered academically at risk. In nearly every case, greater student achievement has been reported; especially for poor and minority students in I CAN Learn® classrooms. Meeting the challenges of No Child Left Behind requires that educational programs undergo meticulous review.

the only measure of success is the success of the student

I CAN Learn® Education Systems invites its clients to supply hard data from standardized mathematics tests to provide thorough assessments of the effectiveness of I CAN Learn® Algebra and Pre-Algebra. It does not rely on company-made tests or anecdotal evidence of success. Because real-world program implementation seldom allows for true experimental evaluation designs, a variety of other methods also are used to analyze results. The purpose of the various methods is to give schools and districts the best available information on what works.
