Why Instructional Materials Matter
More than ever, districts and educators are prioritizing the adoption of high-quality, standards-aligned instructional materials. These materials are key to providing equitable access to the grade-level content that all students deserve. Research continues to demonstrate the importance of high-quality instructional materials:
Students learn primarily through their interactions with teachers and content. This is the foundation for ensuring all kids are college- and career-ready and have the skills and knowledge they need to thrive in school and beyond. What is chosen matters.
However, it can be challenging to evaluate standards alignment and identify which materials best match district goals and needs. CalCurriculum’s goal is to help districts adopt and implement high-quality instructional materials by providing independent reviews, actionable resources, and guidance tailored to the California context. We’re here to help.
