  • SCORE! and Pearson to Co-Develop Customized Learning Technology for Online Tutoring
    SCORE! and Pearson to Co-Develop Customized Learning Technology for Online Tutoring March 6, 2000 SAN FRANCISCO--Pearson to Invest in SCORE! and Promote eSCORE.com Online Through its Education Network Alliance Supports Kaplan's Commitment to Internet Education SCORE! Learning, Inc., a subsidiary of Kaplan, Inc. and a leading provider of education services for families, and Pearson plc, the world's largest educational publisher, today announced their intention to form a strategic alliance that will expand both companies' reach in the pre-K through 12 market. SCORE! and Pearson will co-develop technology to provide customized learning experiences for children. Pearson will give eSCORE.com premium placement on the pre-K through 12 section of its education network, a portal scheduled to launch later this year on the Web and on America Online. The network will be the preferred supplier of educational content and tools on AOL, enabling eSCORE.com to reach millions of subscribers. In addition, Pearson will invest at least $20 million in SCORE! for an ownership interest in the company, and Kaplan plans to invest an undisclosed sum in Pearson's education network. The proposed investments and business partnership are subject to negotiation and execution of definitive agreements. eSCORE.com, SCORE!'s online learning site, will use the jointly developed technology as the foundation for launching online tutoring services, where children will work synchronously with a live, online academic Coach on their math, reading, spelling and other skills. The customized learning software will also be used in SCORE!'s after-school educational centers, where students in grades K-10 build academic skills, self-confidence and a love of learning.

  • Pearson and Palf: the Mutating Giant
    pearson and palf The Mutating Giant Carolina Junemann and Stephen J Ball june 2015 This paper draws in part on a Leverhulme Trust research project: Philanthro- py, Education Policy and Governance. It is based on a review of literature, ex- tensive internet searches, interviews with Pearson and PALF executives includ- ing Michael Barber, Katelyn Donnelly and others, attendance at PALF events, and participation in the PALF Edupreneurs competition in Johannesburg in 2014 (a copy of the Draft Project Report can be obtained from [email protected]) Page 3 Introduction Pearson and palf: The Mutating Giant Introduction Originally founded in 1844 by Samuel Pearson as a building company, Pearson is today the world’s largest education com- pany with usd7.9bn revenue in 2014 and an impressively large business portfolio including textbooks, testing and assessment products, online learning and software solutions, and custom- isable and integrated services. The company currently operates in over 80 countries and has over 40,000 employees. Over the last 10 years Pearson has been involved in a process of re-invention, leading to its re-branding in 2014 as a ‘learning’ company with a vision, summed up in the strapline ‘always learning’, and with the aim of contributing to “the very high- est standards in education around the world”(1. This transfor- mation process has encompassed not just a growing focus on the education business, but also a continuing adaptation and re-direction to faster-growing opportunities and, especially since 2012, to what it calls ‘proven’ service-oriented models. As described in its Annual Report 2012 (Pearson plc, 2012, p.

  • Pearson Learning and the Ongoing Corporatization of Public Education
    JournalDennis of Thought, Attick &Spring-Summer Deron Boyles 2016 Pearson Learning and the Ongoing Corporatization of Public Education Dennis Attick Clayton State University Deron Boyles Georgia State University Over the past 20 years, Pearson Learning has become the largest and most powerful publisher of educational textbooks and education-related materials used throughout P-12 public education, as well as in higher and adult education in the United States. The Pearson brand includes both print and digital texts, internet learning platforms, test adminis- tration materials, test scoring rubrics, test-preparation materials, and Pearson’s latest venture, its administration of the Education Teacher Performance Assessment (EdTPA), created at Stanford University’s Center for Assessment, Learning, and Equity (SCALE). In the past 10 years alone, Pearson has gone from annual revenues of $2 billion in the early 2000s, to nearly $6 billion in the 2014 fiscal year (Pearson, 201). Pearson’s increasing profits come, in no small part, from the company’s continued influence over federal and global education initiatives which has led to the wholesale adoption of Pearson’s products in nearly every aspect of public education today. Jennifer Reingold (201) wrote recently in Fortune of the growing concern over Pearson positioning itself to dominate nearly every as- pect of schooling in the United States, from curriculum, textbooks, and standardized tests, to overseeing teacher preparation and evaluation. As Gail Collins (2012) argued in The New York Times, “An American child could soon go to a public school run by Pearson, study from books produced by Pearson, while his or her progress is evaluated by Pearson standardized tests.

  • Pearson – the British Company That Controls Our American Education
    PEARSON - THE BRITISH COMPANY THAT CONTROLS OUR AMERICAN EDUCATION SYSTEM There is a growing cancer in this country. It is not fostered neither by China, Russia or Iran, nor by the Latin American countries exporting thousands of their people to our borders. The culprit is a global British corporation, namely, Pearson Education. A year ago this British corporation published a textbook entitle, “By the People: A History of the United States,” for Advanced Placement students. Although this book is nothing beyond pure revisionist history, global British corporation, Pearson Education, markets its revisionist view of our history as an accurate and truthful balanced presentation of United States’ history. In other words, Pearson Education is telling students that what they have presented in their book as our history actually happened. Keep this issue in mind while you read the following excerpt from Pearson’s American “history” book: “Clinton’s supporters feared that the election had been determined by people who were afraid of a rapidly developing ethnic diversity of the country, discomfort with their candidate’s gender and nostalgia for an earlier time in the nation’s history,” the textbook reads. “They also worried about the mental stability of the president-elect and the anger that he and his supporters brought to the nation.” Two major glaring points come across in this one textbook snippet. First, this book was developed for only Advanced Placement students, and therefore is geared toward those students presumably being groomed for the “better” colleges and universities – the so-called elite. So what this book does is take the still yet very impressionable best and brightest in our high schools and condition them to have a negative view of a Republican president and his conservative followers, a conditioned view that is then further ingrained in our colleges and universities.

    Cultural Logic: Marxist Theory & Practice 2013 (Whole Number 20), pp. 209-223 Hacking Away at the Corporate Octopus Alan J. Singer Hofstra University In January 1961, as he completed his second and final term as president of the United States, Dwight Eisenhower gave a farewell address to the nation (Ike’s Warning, 2011). In many ways, it was a remarkable and prescient speech, especially given that Eisenhower was a West Point graduate, a retired five-star general, a military hero during World War II who led the D- Day invasion of Europe, and was essentially a very conservative man. In the speech, Eisenhower warned the American people of the growing power of a “military-industrial complex,” an alliance of the military with defense contractors that he saw as a threat to democracy: In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists, and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together. (Eisenhower Farewell Address, paras. 21-22) Democracy in the United States is now under a similar assault from what I call the Education-Foundation-Political-Industrial Complex. This Complex takes many forms but its primary goal seems to be to shape state and federal educational policy in a way that maximizes private corporate profits at the expense of public education.

Marjorie Scardino, chief executive, said: “We began 2012 planning for a challenging external environment and our caution was well-placed: conditions have been tough in the early part of this year and, for a couple of parts of Pearson, tougher than expected.
