ODYSSEYWARE System Recommendations

"Before Muskogee Public Schools started using ODYSSEYWARE, we were concerned that the curriculum might not be rigorous enough for students relying solely on the program without additional classroom instruction. We were very pleased when an ODYSSEYWARE student who had no prior geometry instruction passed the state geometry test with flying colors. To this day I enjoy receiving the occasional note from this student telling me how well he’s doing in college. We now have many students who receive their courses exclusively via ODYSSEYWARE. Many of these students were not succeeding in the regular classroom and are given a second chance when they use the curriculum."

-Paula Dean, Muskogee Public Schools

"ODYSSEYWARE has reduced our dropout rate dramatically. The students can see the possibility of making up credits and graduating. The 'black hole' of failure is no longer bottomless."

-Kathy Sussex, alternative director, Milbank School District, South Dakota

"With ODYSSEYWARE, students are motivated. It's designed for kids in the 21st century. They're not expected to watch some antiquated video. Instead, they are able to participate in their own instruction through the text and the multimedia elements. That, combined with the fact that they can work at their own pace, helps them stay motivated."

-Scott Davis, superintendent of schools, Lamesa, Texas

"A lot of the burden and busywork of teaching is taken off the back of the teacher by ODYSSEYWARE. Then the teacher can focus on individual problem solving, relationship building, and motivating."

-Mary K. Davidson, facilitator, Ontario, California
