Baltimore, MD (PRWEB) June 08, 2016 -- Connections Learning by Pearson, a provider of targeted digital learning solutions to the K-12 education community, today announced a collaboration with the National Consortium of Secondary STEM Schools (NCSSS).

“With this collaboration, cost-effective STEM instruction will now be available to students at more than 100 NCSSS schools across the country,” said Dr. Patricia Hoge, executive vice president of curriculum and instruction and chief academic officer for Connections Education. “As each of our organizations strives to provide high-quality education solutions, we look forward to joining forces to meet the individual needs of students and educators nationwide.”
“We are very pleased to be able to offer our NCSSS members this benefit,” said Todd Mann, Executive Director of NCSSS. “Working in tandem with Connections Learning further enables us to proactively address one of the major needs in education: more opportunities for learning STEM,” he added. “Moreover,” Mann pointed out, “we have provided even greater benefit to our members by offering this programming at a price point individual schools could not obtain on their own.”
