"We're looking for high-quality curricular materials aligned to Massachusetts standards. Do you have any advice?"
It's an important question, and one we hear frequently. The CURATE project is our response. We convene panels of Massachusetts teachers to review and rate evidence on the quality and alignment of specific curricular materials, then publish their findings here for educators across the Commonwealth to consult.
