Choose the right perspective
Match the person's district size and grade focus to yours, since a large urban district and a small rural one adopt curriculum and train teachers in different ways. Also consider their subject background, because literacy, math and science leaders bring different experience to materials adoption.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you run a curriculum adoption so teachers have a real voice in the choice?
- 02What professional learning helped teachers use new materials well in the first year?
- 03How do you tell whether a new curriculum is improving instruction before test results arrive?
