GPS For Curriculum Implementation
Rivet Education
Rivet Education defines high-quality, curriculum-aligned professional learning.
Recently, during a work trip, I relied on Apple Maps to navigate a complex drive in an unfamiliar state. Without it, I wouldn’t have known whether to turn right or left out of the parking garage, let alone navigate the multiple highways, detours, and street-sign-less rural roads I encountered on my drive.?
On that drive, I trusted my GPS to tell me what to do, and when. Plotting a route was one less thing I had to do, allowing me to focus on driving, chatting with my colleagues, and thinking about the next day’s activities.?
It struck me: education leaders need a similar tool—a GPS for their work. With endless fires to put out daily, long-term strategic planning often takes a backseat. But what if leaders had a roadmap that kept them on course, even when the territory is unfamiliar and distractions arise?
Rivet’s Instructional Materials Implementation Tool acts like that GPS. It helps assess where you are in the high-quality instructional materials (HQIM) implementation journey, guides your next steps, and keeps progress moving. Leaders don’t have time to reinvent the wheel—they need to focus on leading actual implementation efforts, monitoring impact, and making adjustments.
As we expand the tool’s capabilities this year—with district and state-level digital dashboards that make trends easier to track and decisions clearer to make—it’s becoming an even more powerful resource for education leaders.
If you’re leading curriculum implementation, give it a try. It could be the GPS you’ve been looking for to stay on course and drive results.
