MARYVILLE, Tenn. - AussieJournal -- Popular Math Metric Will Indicate Skills Students are Ready to Learn and Track Progress Toward
Career Preparedness
Maryville, TN — July 8, 2020 — NS4ed LLC, a rising leader in actionable research and
professional guidance in education, and MetaMetrics®, developer of the widely adopted
Quantile® Framework for Mathematics, announced a partnership today. This partnership was
established in conjunction with the development of new career-focused math curricula from
NS4ed's flagship program, Pathway2Careers (P2C).
The new curricula, titled Pathway2Algebra (P2A) and Pathway2Geometry (P2G), will focus on
the instruction of foundational math concepts in the context of high-value careers. Content
within each subject will center around twelve main topic areas, with each lesson addressing one
or more Common Core State Standards. What distinguishes P2A and P2G from traditional math
curricula is the in-depth career application that will be available to students. Over one hundred
different occupations are represented in the curricula. As students work through lessons, in a
blended, technology-enhanced learning model, they gain career exposure through detailed
career spotlights. Most importantly, they have opportunity to experience purpose in their
learning through the application of core math concepts in authentic on-the-job examples. In
Pathway2Algebra and Pathway2Geometry, students learn and practice math fully immersed in a
variety of unique and different careers.

benchmark assessments and Quantile® measures at the beginning, middle, and end of the year.
The Quantile measures will be used to indicate the skills and concepts students are ready to
learn, as well as cumulative growth in mathematics abilities.
As a particularly unique feature, MetaMetrics will integrate their Quantile® Career Database, consisting of hundreds of Quantile-measured occupations, into student score reports. With the
inclusion of this database, students will receive a list of occupations that align with their math
ability. This career list will give students insight into the types of occupations for which they have
achieved career preparedness. This, according to Joseph Goins, Ed.D., CEO for NS4ed, "is an
invaluable point of connection for students. Students need the ability to connect their learning to
their current and future employment potential. This information prepares students for the
realities of today, as well as inspires them to prepare for the future."
MetaMetrics has been in communication with NS4ed for the past two years to ensure the
custom assessments and the corresponding career database fit within the objectives of the new
curricula. There has been considerable work conducted in the development of the career
database to promote optimal alignment with the occupations within the database and those
represented in the curricula. With the release of the new curricula, there will be the unique
opportunity for math instruction, assessment, and careers to merge at an unprecedented level.
"It's exciting to partner with an organization like NS4ed that shares our goal of career
preparedness," said Malbert Smith, Ph.D., CEO, president and co-founder. "How can students
be expected to cross the finish line when they don't know where that is? By showing students
where their math level is and what it needs to be to be career-ready, we equip students with the
data they need to meet their goals. We are thrilled our Quantile Framework and Career

Database will be used in Pathway2Algebra and Pathway2Geometry to help connect those dots
and achieve career readiness."
Currently, Pathway2Algebra and Pathway2Geometry is scheduled for release in early
September. Information and updates on the release can be found at
