Its newest offering, LessonLab, will provide schools and school districts with comprehensive teacher professional development aligned with research, assessment, and instructional programs.

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."
