Curriculum Advice
Every day, students count on their teachers to nurture the knowledge and skills they’ll need for future success. One critical support in this endeavor is a high-quality curriculum. But despite the many benefits, implementing a new curriculum is often bumpy because it’s deeply human, adaptive work.
4 Mistakes to Avoid When Launching a New Curriculum
The Challenges
Drawing upon decades of partnering with districts on curriculum launch and adaptation efforts, we’ve found four common mistakes that make or break success.
- Not engaging teachers in the selection.
- Not creating time for teachers to learn about innovations in high-quality instruction and materials.
- Only thinking about launch training rather than building ongoing and sustained coherence.
- Messaging false choices between fidelity and how to adapt materials to meet different student needs.
But don’t fret! We have solutions. Download your copy of “4 Mistakes to Avoid When Launching a New Curriculum” below to learn what causes these challenges and how to get on the path to success.
