"College Knowledge: What It Really Takes for Students to Succeed and What We Can Do to Get Them Ready." Although more and more students have the test scores and transcripts to get into college, far too many are struggling once they get there. These students are surprised to find that college coursework demands so much more of them than high school. For the first time, they are asked to think deeply, write extensively, document assertions, solve non-routine problems, apply concepts, and accept unvarnished critiques of their work. College Knowledge confronts this problem by looking at the disconnect between what high schools do and what colleges expect and proposes a solution by identifying what students need to know and be able to do in order to succeed. The book is based on an extensive three-year project sponsored by the Association of American Universities in partnership with The Pew Charitable Trusts. This landmark research identified what it takes to succeed in entry-level university courses. Based on the project's findings - and interviews with students, faculty, and staff - this groundbreaking book delineates the cognitive skills and subject area knowledge that college-bound students need to master in order to succeed in today's colleges and universities. These Standards for Success cover the major subject areas of English, mathematics, natural sciences, social sciences, second languages, and the arts. Softcover. 384 pages. Learn More

Saxon Physics, The Complete Homeschool Program. Anyone who has taught second-year algebra, especially Saxon's Algebra 2, can teach this book successfully. The subject is presented at an introductory level and does not require that the teacher have a background in physics. Saxon Physics is an engineering physics course. A scientific calculator is needed for the course. Students will be most successful with this course if they have completed at least the first half of Advanced Mathematics or some other pre-calculus book that includes trigonometry. Saxon Physics is equally appropriate for average and gifted students. The entire program is based on introducing a topic to a student and then allowing them to build upon that concept as they learn new ones. Topics are gradually increased in complexity and practiced every day, providing the time required for concepts to become totally familiar. The student textbook (hardcover) includes 100 lessons, appendix with selected tables, Periodic Table of the Elements, Answers to odd-numbered problems. 796 pages. The Homeschool Packet (included) contains 25 Test Forms for homeschooling, Answer Key to all tests, and Answer Key to all student textbook problems. Physics Solution Manual (sold separately - Item # 2634) includes step-by step solutions to all student textbook problem sets.Rather than an introduction to physics, Learn More
