Who We Are

Digital Flex Curriculum Consortium is a nonprofit center committed to building a more effective and sustainable future for K–12 education. We bring together districts, educators, researchers, and local communities to study and scale high-impact curriculum practices.

Our work is grounded in collaboration, teacher-informed design, and the belief that innovation should always serve the classroom. We focus on increasing adoption, supporting fidelity of implementation, and ensuring that students receive the learning experiences they deserve.

Our Values

Instructional Excellence & Educator Empowerment
We are committed to strengthening teaching and learning through high-quality materials, research-based practices, and meaningful implementation. We believe educators are central to this work—their expertise, leadership, and lived experience are essential to designing and delivering solutions that truly make a difference.

 

Thoughtful Innovation
We embrace innovation that is intentional, ethical, and responsive to real classroom needs. From new technologies to emerging instructional models, we ensure that innovation supports—not replaces—the professional judgment of educators and the success of students.

 

Collective Impact Through Collaboration
We believe lasting change comes through shared learning and collective action. By fostering collaboration across districts and roles—and making research, tools, and insights openly accessible—we amplify progress and build solutions that are stronger together than apart.

Mission & Objectives

Digital Flex Curriculum Consortium exists to:

 

Drive Innovation and Research 

We conduct and share actionable research focused on high-quality instructional materials (HQIM) and effective professional learning. Our work supports schools and systems in increasing adoption rates, improving fidelity of implementation, and strengthening instructional practices that lead to meaningful student outcomes.

 

Enable Cross-Sector Collaboration

We strengthen collaboration between sectors to align resources, share tools and insights, reduce redundancy, and increase the effectiveness of curriculum design and adoption. By working together, districts can drive shared innovation, increase buy-in, and accelerate instructional impact at scale.

 

Elevate Through Leadership 

We are home to the Digital Flex Curriculum Consortium—a research and leadership network connecting educators, districts, and thought leaders to co-develop, refine, and scale high-quality curriculum solutions. We also convene forums, publish findings, and guide implementation, ensuring that insights from the field reach those who can act on them—teachers, district leaders, parents, and policymakers.
