D.C. teachers and administrators say the improvement in NAEP scores is attributable in part to the use of Everyday Mathematics, a K-6 curriculum Janey introduced in the District in 2005. Everyday Mathematics focuses on using a student's experiences, encouraging the use of games and hands-on work rooted in real-life situations. Students also are encouraged to explain and discuss their reasoning in their own words.

"Genomics Digital Lab (GDL) Project GDL was created in conjunction with ASPB member and GAP winner David Salt's Genomics eXplorer, an interactive walk-through plant cell museum exhibit. GDL, a first place winner in the NSF 2008 Science & Engineering Visualization Challenge, offers a series of curriculum-aligned and integrated games, modules, and interactive simulations covering an array of topics in biology. GDL is a continually expanding interactive on-line environment where users experience the world of biology through discovery-based learning. "
