Innovations in Curriculum and Instruction

Improving student achievement and ensuring that every student graduates means paying careful attention to the relationships among students, teachers, and content that lie at the core of the learning process.

Students drop out of school because they are bored or frustrated.  What they experienced in the classroom was either too easy, too hard, or disconnected from anything they care about.

Instructional approaches must engage students in learning and offer opportunities to learn and demonstrate mastery in different ways.  Curriculum must support those instructional approaches, meet students at their level and provide adequate scaffolding to support them to the next level.

The following are promising curricular and instructional interventions being developed and studied in the Everyone Graduates Center.  They represent a growing movement in the right direction to equip educators with not only theories but also training and tools they need to revolutionize classroom practice and support success for all students.
