Awards and Research Evidence
The U.S. Department of Education gave its top rating of “Exemplary” to the Core-Plus mathematics program in 1999. Only five programs were given this award based on a national search and review of 61 programs. U. S. Assistant Education Secretary Kent McGuire stated that, “The exemplary programs have met the highest standards set by our nation’s leading mathematics experts and educators. These programs work, and we encourage teachers, administrators, and policymakers to learn more about them as potential additions to their curriculum.”
Four of the top 25 high schools on the 2003 Newsweek list of “America’s best high schools” used Core-Plus Mathematics.
Numerous journal articles, book chapters, conference presentations, and Ph.D. dissertations document the content, approach, and effectiveness of Core-Plus Mathematics.

Famous quotes containing the words research and/or evidence:
“One of the most important findings to come out of our research is that being where you want to be is good for you. We found a very strong correlation between preferring the role you are in and well-being. The homemaker who is at home because she likes that “job,” because it meets her own desires and needs, tends to feel good about her life. The woman at work who wants to be there also rates high in well-being.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
“Never say a humorous thing to a man who does not possess humour. He will always use it in evidence against you.”
—Herbert, Sir Beerbohm (1853–1917)
