The Pearson Foundation in Florida
Dear Florida Educator:
Did you know that Pearson has been providing learning materials to Florida schools for more
than 100 years? For all this time, we have shared with you and your colleagues the awesome
responsibility of educating our children and helping them make the most of their school years.
We want you to know that we are your education partners today, tomorrow and for the future and will continue to invest in the very best instructional materials, teacher education, technology advancements, and services to help you and your students achieve success for generations to come. Like Florida’s educators, we are stable, resilient and unwavering in our commitment to our children. The investment community and business stability evaluator entities like Standard and Poor’s attest to Pearson’s financial stability which is unmatched in the marketplace.
Our continued investment in new products and services and the efficacy research behind our instructional materials remain unmatched as well. Be assured that the challenges of today’s economy will not deter us from standing by our ongoing commitment to you, nor will they affect our mission to create innovative educational solutions customized to align with Florida’s standards for 21st century learning.
Governor Crist announced that in the past three years, Florida has jumped from #31 to #10 in the nation’s state education rankings. This is an enviable feat and we congratulate Florida, its teachers and students on this incredible leap ahead.
There is still much work to be done. This is especially true as you choose your K-12 mathematics programs for the next six years that will ultimately play a critical role in preparing our children for the global 21st century workforce. You can trust that Pearson will be side–by–side with you throughout the six years of the adoption period. We look forward to our continued partnership and doing all we can together to prepare every one of Florida’s students for success in school and in life.
Sincerely,
| Steve Olson, Florida District Manager |
