Curriculum Strategy

Curriculum Audit

Our expert-led teams assess current materials for strengths, opportunities, and next steps - including the need for high quality materials.

Custom Curriculum Materials

To address gaps in skills, lack of cultural responsiveness, or missed connections to local history, we work with the community to create custom materials.

Working alongside district leaders, we help build implementation systems, such as vision alignment, resource allocation, communications strategy and more.

What to Expect Working With Us

At Education Elements, we believe that a curriculum is much larger than a textbook. We believe a curriculum should be rigorous, develop conceptual understanding of content and skills, and integrate learners' cultures and identities. Materials that have these characteristics empower learners to build critical awareness of themselves, their communities, and the world.

Transformational learning occurs when there is alignment between the intentional design and use of high quality instructional materials.

Through our audit and review process, we empower teachers and leaders to ensure that curriculum focuses on grade level standards and the learners experiencing it. We believe that a high quality curriculum must meet criteria for core instructional components, content, and context-specific priorities.

Our approach is two tier

1. The Materials Audit

Our team of content experts look at curricular materials and create a readout with strengths, opportunities, and next steps; districts gain understanding of the extent to which curriculum meets the criteria for High Quality Instructional Materials.

2. Culturally Responsive Guided Review + Analysis

Our team will partner with a local committee of school and district leaders, teachers, students, and families to design and facilitate experiences that illuminate strengths, opportunities, and next steps for materials with a culturally responsive lens.
