A Comprehensive, Step-by-Step Guide for Curriculum Leaders
Give your district the clarity, structure, and confidence needed to navigate one of the most impactful decisions in education: curriculum adoption. The Structured Curriculum Adoption Framework: A Leadership Toolkit is a complete, research-aligned guide that supports leaders through every stage of a high-quality curriculum review, selection, and implementation process. Designed by the CESA 6 Literacy Team, this toolkit transforms a complex, multi-year undertaking into a clear, manageable, and strategic journey.
Built for district and school leaders, this toolkit ensures that every step, from initial exploration to sustained implementation, is documented, collaborative, and grounded in evidence. While many examples center on elementary literacy, the framework is intentionally designed to work for any content area.
Whether you're building stakeholder buy-in, conducting structured deep-dive reviews, hosting vendor presentations, running pilots, or planning professional learning, this toolkit provides the tools, templates, and timelines needed to lead with confidence and fidelity.
What's Included:
- A leadership toolkit outlining the full curriculum adoption and implementation framework.
- A multi-year timeline with month-by-month guidance across all four phases of the adoption cycle.
- Essential leadership tools and templates for team-building, budgeting, belief statements, rubrics, vendor visits, pilots, and consensus building.
- Structured review and implementation protocols, including the Deep Dive Review, Implementation Plan, Monitoring Tools, and PD planning guides.
- Guidance for long-term sustainability through continuous monitoring, stakeholder communication, and an Annual Curriculum Evaluation process.
