Scholastic Publisher Urges HGSE Students to Bring Research to the Classroom
by Jill Anderson, HGSE News
During
a visit to campus on March 6, Margery Mayer, executive vice president
of Scholastic Corporation, encouraged HGSE students to bring forth ideas
for education publications and materials as the industry changes in the
future.
“There aren't enough good ideas going into classrooms,” Mayer said. “Think about what would work and help us bring it to the classroom.”
... Scholastic Corporation began in 1920 and is the largest children's book publisher in the country. Scholastic Education, where Mayer also works as president, is a leader in the education marketplace. It provides research-based technology programs, supplemental instructional materials, and high quality literature that support students' achievement in grades pre-K through high school.
“No matter what we publish nothing works without the teacher being engaged in school,” Mayer said. “The job of being a teacher is really tough.”
In a candid discussion, Mayer spoke about how educational publishing has struggled to deliver quality materials in the classroom.
