A
testimonial from:

Former Vice President, Research

For many educational publishers, the research imperative brought about
recent legislation has placed many challenges on what it takes to deliver
effective and compelling instructional materials to the classroom. The
requirement for independent investigation, the choice of possible research
designs, the logistics involved in conducting studies, and the "sticker
shock" associated with the costs of research are just some of the
issues. These concerns are often magnified by publishing company staffs
that do not often have the level of research experience necessary to conduct
studies on the effectiveness of their materials. Often the result is costly
and unusable.
Harcourt Achieve is grateful for the expertise offered by Magnolia Consulting.
Magnolia Consulting has provided us with unparalleled research quality
while remaining grounded in the world in which we as educational publishers
must compete.
