Advocacy Kits for Policymakers

Advocacy

As a policymaker, you have the ability to lead innovation in our education system.

You are here because you agree that the traditional model of teaching—based on static, undifferentiated, and costly materials—is outmoded. Today, teachers must be engaged and empowered with a wide set of high-quality resources that can be customized to meet the individual needs of all learners. Teachers need a community of fellow educators who share their best lessons and provide classroom-tested feedback on what really works. Schools need tools that are inspiring, easy to use, and affordable - tools such as Curriki.

By providing educators everywhere with access to thousands of free and open source lessons, units, multimedia learning objects, and collaboration tools, Curriki is breaking down the barriers of the Education Divide – the gap between those who have access to high-quality education and those who do not.

And by embracing the Open and Shared Educational Movement, Curriki can help teachers within your districts become more empowered, effective instructors while at the same time dramatically cutting your funding allocation on instructional materials. The various resources available in the Curriki Advocacy Kit below give you the tools and information you need to alert teachers, principals, policymakers, and parents – to the value that Curriki offers.
