The Verizon Foundation has a goal to make a difference in the lives of students, teachers, families and the communities in which they live and work. To do this, they support the creation of quality educational resources and programs that enable lifelong learning and growth. Through Thinkfinity.org, the foundation provides educators with outstanding, free online educational resources and professional development to help improve student learning and achievement.
Thinkfinity.org is a comprehensive program and online portal to more than 55,000 standards-based, grade-specific K–12 lesson plans, student materials and interactive tools, and other educational resources provided in partnership with many leading educational organizations. The program combines this authoritative content with comprehensive professional development and research and evidence-based practices for literacy across the lifespan.
MMS Education has provided support for the Thinkfinity program since 2000. For the past seven years, we have managed a team of coordinators to facilitate the rollout of the Thinkfinity program to educators in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. In addition, we have handled the logistics for the training sessions and supported measurement and reporting on the program. MMS Education also initiated a monthly newsletter and provides customer service for all of the program’s participants.
