Making the grade

Good news for Carnegie Mellon spin-off Carnegie Learning Inc.: The company's math curricula has been named one of the top three most effective middle and high school mathematics programs in the nation by the Johns Hopkins University Center for Data-Drive Reform in Education. Meanwhile, Carnegie Mellon is partnering with the Worcester Polytechnic Institute to help middle school students in Worcester, Mass., prepare for state math tests.

Not bad for a university with no school of education, wouldn't you say?
