The K-12 content landscape has changed. Some of the most effective instructional material being used in classrooms today wasn’t created by a traditional publisher. It was built by districts, charter networks, tutoring organizations, and state agencies. What's changed is who builds the content, not the difficulty of managing and delivering it well.
Creating the Content Is Just the Beginning
Building a great K-12 curriculum is within reach for more organizations than ever. Instructional coaches are developing original scope and sequences. Virtual schools are building asynchronous courses from scratch. Charter networks are authoring STEM programs aligned to their own models. State agencies are designing credit recovery programs for underserved students.
For organizations that have already created content that works for students, the challenge becomes everything that comes next.
