Canada’s No. 1 Educational Publisher to Bring Award-Winning
Web-Based Content to School and Home Markets
Pearson Canada, Canada’s largest education publisher, and DreamBox
Learning, Inc., an award-winning software start-up, have signed a letter
of intent under which Pearson will exclusively market and distribute
DreamBox Learning’s web-based instructional products throughout Canada
for use in both the classroom and home. Pearson will immediately begin
to distribute DreamBox Learning K-2 Math, an effective, individualized,
and engaging online math product for students in kindergarten through 2nd
grade.
“We’re looking forward to establishing DreamBox Learning as a leading
provider of individualized web-based instructional products in Canada,”
said Marty Keast, President of the School Division of Pearson Canada.
“The Canadian school system and parents alike are eager to tap quality
online learning products that reflect a research-based approach to
learning, while offering an appropriate engagement for students.
DreamBox Learning K-2 Math delivers on both fronts so it was a clear
choice to add it to the Pearson portfolio.”
“We are excited to be working with the leading education publisher in
Canada to bring the DreamBox Learning experience to Canadian students,
parents, and teachers,” said Lou Gray, Co-Founder and CEO of DreamBox
Learning. “We look forward to many years of serving this growing market
across multiple grades and subjects with effective, highly
differentiated web-based instruction that helps students achieve their
full academic potential.”
DreamBox Learning K-2 Math was built on the DreamBox Learning platform,
designed by world-class software engineers to be a scalable and
efficient way to create effective and individualized web-based
instruction that leverages the knowledge and teaching expertise of
“domain experts” who are typically experienced teachers. The company
launched its platform and critically acclaimed first product, DreamBox
Learning K-2 Math, in January 2009, and DreamBox Math Classroom in April
2009. The innovative and adaptive product complements what young
students learn in the classroom by developing and reinforcing
foundational math concepts through effective, individualized instruction
while simultaneously being engaging.
