Focus Areas
Strengthening Instructional Quality
We drive research and development that improves how high-quality instructional materials (HQIM) are designed, delivered, and adopted. Our focus is on real-world implementation, increasing teacher readiness, and supporting the instructional shifts that lead to stronger student outcomes.
Elevating Thought Leadership & Stakeholder Voice
Through the Digital Flex Consortium, we convene educators, researchers, and system leaders to exchange ideas, publish insights, and guide implementation. We also create space for educators, families, and community partners to shape the future of curriculum through shared learning and inclusive dialogue.
Advancing Shared Curriculum Models
We support the development of collaborative curriculum ecosystems, enabling districts to co-create and refine materials through shared development models. This approach increases coherence, reduces duplication, and helps ensure every district—regardless of size—can access high-impact solutions.
Promoting Innovation & Responsible Practice
We explore the effective and ethical use of emerging tools—including AI—to enhance curriculum design, implementation, and support. Our work ensures that innovation is grounded in transparency, teacher voice, and practical application in real classrooms.
