Emeryville, Calif. (April 13, 2009) – The Association of Educational Publishers (AEP) has selected The Key to Tracker™ as a 2009 Distinguished Achievement Award finalist in the math curriculum category for grades 6-8. Published by Key Curriculum Press^®, The Key to Tracker helps teachers improve their students’ basic math skills. For more than four decades, the AEP Awards have honored outstanding resources for teaching and learning.

The Key to Tracker is an online subscription service that serves as the companion to the Key to…^® workbooks. The Key to Tracker offers teachers an easy way to monitor their students’ progress as they work on fractions, decimals, percents, and algebra in their Key to… workbooks. Computer-graded assessments save teachers time, allowing them to focus on teaching rather than grading papers. Fun graphics and instant feedback motivate students to keep learning.

“Middle school is a critical time for building the math skills required in high school, college, work, and everyday life,” said Karen Coe, president of Key Curriculum Press. “The Key to Tracker is an easy and effective way for teachers to help their students master fundamental math concepts. We’re honored to be recognized by AEP for this product, and for our efforts to improve middle school math achievement.”

The AEP Awards aim to give credit and recognition to the organizations that are leading the way in the field of educational products, and to set benchmarks to which the rest of the industry can aspire. Submitted products undergo a rigorous two-tier judging process by a panel of educators and industry experts. Founded in 1895, AEP is a nonprofit professional organization that serves and advances the industry of educational publishing.
