Teachers use our curriculum after attending professional development events during which they play the role of both teacher and student in order to be best prepared to facilitate the curriculum in their own classrooms. Teachers who complete all requirements during the professional development as signed off on by CASE Lead Teachers are then considered certified and retain the curriculum forever.

While we do provide curriculum as a product of our professional development, the training itself is what CASE prides itself on delivering to teachers. Because of the inquiry-based nature of the materials, training is required to make the most of it. We do not provide curriculum by itself.

We currently have 13 courses available. Learn more about each course.

Each fall we publish our professional development schedule for the following summer’s Institutes. Registration opens on January 5 and is closed once filled or by April 15. BriefCASE events occur year-round; check the current BriefCASE schedule for an event near you.

These end-of-course assessments meet Perkins V requirements. Learn more here.
