The Curriculum Gap
Carroll, Kathleen
Grantmakers for Education
The challenge of updating curriculum to align with Common Core State Standards is a national one felt by states, districts, and teachers alike. Teachers generally express enthusiasm for the Common Core, but consistently cite a lack of high-quality curricula as an impediment to teaching them. The demand for core-aligned quality materials has far outpaced supply. This issue brief outlines how education grantmakers can impact curriculum alignment at the local, regional, and national levels.
