Improving Equity & Quality With Custom Curricula
Description:
A trend has emerged in recent years: districts are taking on the work of creating bespoke curriculum in favor of off-the-shelf textbooks. And, with more administrators clamoring for high-quality, engaging materials that reflect their community’s diversity - particularly given the events of recent years - this is a trend that is clearly here to stay. This panel explores how three school districts use customized curricula to meet their unique needs while advancing learning and equity goals.
