ELA & Math Curriculum Implementation

Build systems and capacity for the sustainable implementation of high-quality math and ELA curricula

Many students have inequitable access to grade-level materials and instruction. In order to ensure equitable student outcomes, we must provide educators with the skills, knowledge, and tools to implement high-quality curricula.

CORE and our parent organization, Pivot Learning, offer a suite of curriculum implementation services that support a district across its ecosystem — from teachers to superintendents — to successfully plan for and implement highly rated K-12 math and ELA curricula centered on equitable student outcomes.

Pivot Learning’s Implementation Project Managers work at the district level to build capacity to create systems that support the sustainable implementation of high-quality instructional materials that produce equitable student outcomes.

Simultaneously, CORE’s literacy and math Educational Consultants work with teachers, coaches, and principals to provide deep pedagogical training in best practices for math and reading and in-class support and coaching to implement their selected curricula with fidelity.

We have expert knowledge and experience assisting schools with implementing best practices with their chosen program

Take a Look at How CORE's Curriculum Implementation Support has Helped Districts Improve Student Outcomes

Implementing a new curriculum is a challenging process. Often the organization, layout, and even the instructional approach can be drastically different than the previously used curriculum. Change takes time, especially if that change includes learning new instructional practices. Taguma and Barrera (2019) cite teacher commitment, beliefs, and content and pedagogical understanding of the new curriculum as key factors that either facilitate or impede successful curriculum implementation.

However, when teachers are provided with sustained, relevant, job-embedded professional learning that helps them to master the curriculum program routines and the pedagogical knowledge and practices necessary to deliver a new curriculum with confidence and enthusiasm, student achievement soars.
