High-Quality Curriculum is a Critical Factor in Student Success
CenterPoint believes strongly that high-quality curriculum in the hands of teachers can provide equitable educational opportunities for every child, and research backs this up. Education researchers are finding repeatedly that high-quality curriculum is one of the most important factors for successful student outcomes. The success of any curriculum lies in the strength of its implementation: when done well, teachers’ expectations for students will not be limited based on preconceived notions or labels; there will be high expectations for all, and scaffolding and enrichment will be available to help every child achieve and even exceed that high bar.
Curriculum implementation that shifts teacher practice and ultimately improves student achievement is not “one size fits all.” Nor is it something that is “done for” a district. These are collaborative efforts that require deep engagement of educators. We partner with school and district staff to equip all classrooms with quality curricula and instructional materials while taking into account local practice and context. We customize our work to meet our partners’ instructional priorities, address trends in student and teacher data, include innovative technologies, and align with school and district schedules. We are deeply committed to improving teaching and learning for every school team with which we work.
