Public Profile

Key Curriculum Press was founded to provide the educational community with alternative mathematics materials. Based on their experiences as mathematics teachers, Peter and Steven wrote and produced the initial texts, which launched the company, and Steven remains its president today. In 1996, Key Curriculum Press began a valuable business affiliation with Springer, one of the world's largest and most prestigious scientific publishers, strengthening the breadth and depth of our publishing resources. In 1998, we created KCP Technologies, building on the educational-research talent and software-development strengths that have enabled us to create The Geometer's Sketchpad® Dynamic Geometry® software and Fathom Dynamic Statistics™ software. In 1999, Key Curriculum Press, in cooperation with Springer New York, expanded and launched Key College Publishing to offer innovative mathematics and statistics texts and courseware for the college market. From our headquarters in Emeryville, California, we publish high school mathematics textbooks, mathematics software, supplementary materials and workbooks, videos, and manipulative materials. We also provide professional-development services to teachers across the United States. Our goal is to give you the very best tools for teaching mathematics. Our commitment to ongoing research and development ensures that you'll be equipped with materials that reflect the latest in educational thought and design. Additionally, our program of professional development guarantees a solid foundation on which you can build a successful program. So dig in—construct a successful framework for your students with materials and services from Key Curriculum Press! Mathematics is our focus-our only focus. Careful product development and the application of progressive educational standards are the highest priorities at Key Curriculum Press. Our materials are in virtually every secondary school across the United States and Canada. Our editorial team and trainer network includes researchers, teachers, and professional curriculum writers. We seek authors who are also teachers to guarantee that our materials will work when they reach the classroom. Our mathematics materials are thoroughly field-tested in a wide range of schools to ensure that they will meet the needs of a broad spectrum of students. We solicit extensive feedback from both teachers and students, even after our materials are published, so that the materials can evolve and develop to meet changing n
