Curriculum matters and adopting high quality instructional materials (HQIM) is a critical first step to improve student learning. To leverage the power of the materials, teachers must be supported through foundational training, effective coaching and curriculum-based professional learning and collaboration. This requires system leaders to build coherent instructional systems, monitor implementation and nurture conditions for impact across schools.

HQIMs support teachers in providing access to standards-based tasks, but materials are often disconnected from local resources or history, leaving untapped opportunities to make learning engaging and meaningful. To bring the curriculum to life, system leaders must take a strategic approach that leverages community assets. We support districts and schools by working with community partners and teachers to design experiences that ground learning in the local context.

Teachers’ belief that together they can change student outcomes is the single greatest factor contributing to student achievement. To grow empowering mindsets, educators must see transformative learning in their context and share strategies that make a difference. We support districts and schools in understanding impact and elevating narratives of success within their local community. This accelerates student learning by leveraging peer power to improve practices with high-quality curriculum.
