Closing the Gap

Dear Friend,

In contrast with other areas of public interest in education (school spending or standardized test scores, for example), there is very little in the way of systematic, standardized reporting on curriculum selection and use nationwide.

In other words: we don’t know who is using what curriculum, and how it’s impacting student learning, especially for underserved students. 

CEMD's latest report, Closing the Gap: The Case for Transparency in Curriculum Selection, has set out to change this.
