Content, collaborative tools, and data analysis are delivered through a nationwide network of certified consultants who directly support administrators and teachers. Co-nect and LessonLab together will offer instructional solutions built around customized implementations and professional development.

"K-12 school leaders in the US are seeking evidence-based and innovative solutions to improve student performance," says Beth Wray, the newly appointed CEO of Pearson Achievement Solutions. "Pearson Achievement Solutions…has a critical role in improving current student outcomes through systemic school change, customized content, and professional development."
