About

The state-based Curriculum Review Project answers a pressing call from instructors for strong curriculum that reflects the demands of state academic standards. Curriculum resources—often purchased by a program—play a central role in how most instructors organize content and set learning tasks.

Three separate interactive trainings will be offered to states, including the disciplines of: ELA/literacy, Mathematics, and English language proficiency.

Each training series will focus on how to apply research-based curriculum review protocols to curricula in use.

You can sign a team up for one, two, or all three trainings!

Mississippi

"The SIA 2.0 curriculum review activities provided great, user-friendly tools, in-depth training, and connection with many other experts. Each member on the team stated that they discovered so much that they did not know. It has changed the way we look at the materials in our classrooms. The resources will make the process easy to replicate. The most challenging aspect of the project was making sufficient time to do the reviews."

Pennsylvania

"The curriculum review training prepared us well. Our team feels confident about independently conducting the review and even trying it with the ELA materials, even though we were only trained on the math materials. In partnership with the training, the workbook is clear and usable. "

West Virginia

"This has been a wonderful experience for Team WV! Our team is now extremely well trained to conduct curriculum reviews independently. Our team feels very prepared to be able to train others in our state. We are excited to utilize the curriculum review tool at the state level to analyze future curriculum purchases and enhance the curriculum that we reviewed by providing supplemental resources and delivering a virtual training series. "

Nevada

"The training was great! We feel very prepared to train others in the state to conduct curriculum reviews. Independently, the respective representatives on our teams were able to determine areas of opportunity for their institutions and become a leader in sharing how to apply the SIA 2.0 curriculum alignment tools to a range of materials. We recommend the curriculum review training and are definitely planning to incorporate it in NV’s online PD curriculum."

Arizona

"While the process and schedule are challenging, the training provided a solid research base for each dimension's criteria. The training brought us awareness of a lot of best practices for teaching/learning. AZ ultimately learned a lot from this process and would recommend the curriculum training to others. "

DC

"This was an excellent opportunity to see what a really good curriculum could look like and review it against a curriculum that we currently use. It helps instructors see what is missing and could be filled in with other items to support a higher level of engagement with students. The SIA 2.0 general sessions' pace was fast, so we're grateful to have had the opportunity to have an expert coach dedicated to us outside the general sessions throughout the project!"
