Eureka Math was created to improve students' results and grow their skills for each new level. A new study shows that curricula reform can have a significant, positive impact.

Study Makes Case for Curriculum Change
"The Hidden Value of Curriculum Reform" documents how cost-effective a curriculum change can be. The study cites Eureka Math as an example of progress: "There have been some promising solutions in this space...The New York State Education Department helped create EngageNY, which provides high-quality curricula units that schools can make their own and eventually led to the Eureka Math curriculum."

Spotlight Shines on Instructional Coach Karen Nuxoll
A new Eureka Champion, Karen Nuxoll of Illinois' Antioch Public Schools, reports that her grade 2-5 students "have done very well" using Eureka Math in 2014-2015. In preparation for year two, teachers from the district took part in our summer Eureka PD Institute in Skokie, IL. "We have discovered a variety of parent tools/support from Louisiana, California, and New York.  We were also very happy when Great Minds unveiled Homework Helpers. Having these resources will help our parents support their children." Read more from Karen and other Eureka Champions here.
