Saxon is a hands-on approach to teaching math. New concepts are developed through hands-on activities and rich mathematical conversations that actively engage students in the learning process. Concepts are developed, reviewed, and practiced over time. Saxon incorporates daily mixed practice, consistent instruction, and language development that are the keys to laying a solid foundation in math. Complete transcripts of math conversations in every lesson are used, and teachers gain techniques to guide students to full comprehension of math concepts.

The Stanford Achievement Test, 10th Edition (Stanford 10) is a widely used achievement test published by Harcourt Brace Educational Measurement. It was designed to measure achievement in the curriculum content commonly taught in grades 1 through 9 throughout the United States. This test is very widely used with deaf and hard of hearing students. The Stanford 10 has eight test levels that have been vertically equated so that scores are reported on a single scale for each subtest. These "scaled scores" allow comparisons of scores from different test levels and permit examination of longitudinal growth in achievement of individual students over time. Each test level was designed to measure curriculum content commonly taught (to hearing students) throughout the United States in specific grades in school.
