We really like the Measuring Up materials. Our initial TAKS scores show 95% in Reading and 94% in Math. We also were 96% in Science and 97% in Writing. We believe the measuring materials were a major factor in our good reading and math scores.

The fullness of U.S. history is realized with the inclusion of the African American contribution—now fully covered in a single, easy-to-implement text.
In Our Own Image is a complete and user-friendly text for teaching African American history and culture to middle and junior high school students.
Virtually every aspect of African American history and culture is covered, beginning with a study of early African leaders and communities, the Middle Passage, and enslavement. The Emancipation Proclamation follows, along with legal segregation and the Ku Klux Klan. Final chapters include the explosion of cultural pride experienced in the Harlem Renaissance and the struggle for civil rights. In Our Own Image concludes with contemporary issues in society.
Chapter reviews include activities, critical thinking, writing, and vocabulary that stress the high points of the chapter and allows teachers to gauge students’ progress. Maps and timelines enhance geography and study skills, while colorful illustrations help students visualize the material.
