WHO WE SERVE

We support districts in navigating the instructional materials implementation journey by providing a roadmap for what to do and when.
STATE AGENCIES
We work with state leaders to create academic strategies scaling districts’ use of high-quality materials and professional learning.
PROVIDERS
We work with professional learning providers to strengthen their services and improve the support they provide to teachers and students.
COMMUNITY
We partner with research entities, policymakers, advocacy groups, and education support organizations to share information, support research, and drive change in K-12 education.
HOW WE SUPPORT
Rivet consults with state and local education agencies to help them understand, execute, and monitor the curriculum implementation journey.
Rivet defines curriculum-based professional learning (CBPL) and assesses professional learning organizations against that definition through its Professional Learning Partner Guide (PLPG).
Rivet’s Instructional Materials Implementation Tool and audit services help state and local education leaders assess the quality of their HQIM implementation.
what everyone is saying
"The Rivet team brings educators together in a way that supports effective instruction and student learning."
Assistant Administrator, Office of Teaching, Learning & Assessment
"As far as consultants go, we won the lottery. Rivet, and especially our primary consultant Robin McClellan, have been supportive, encouraging, and wonderful thought partners. I’ve come to consider Robin a friend. Her work is mostly on the Wit & Wisdom implementation, but she loves to hear about all of the things we are doing in the district. She truly sees the whole picture."
ASST. SUPERINTENDENT OF TEACHING + LEARNING
"The PLPG framework was very supportive in helping us examine and design our professional learning. It helped us clarify many of our goals, make the purpose more explicit, and refine the structure of the experiences we offered. It also helped us as we designed our support for coaches and instructional leaders."

director of curriculum, instruction + prof. development
"Rivet Education provided valuable coaching as we drafted our process and set criteria for selecting a qualified professional development partner to support our district-wide literacy adoption. We received only high-quality submissions, allowing us to maximize our time in evaluating only qualified vendors. Rivet's sample evaluation tools were essential in streamlining the process of finding the best solutions for our district."
director of curriculum
"Being a certified provider in the PLPG helps bring credibility to our organization, but more so, it helps bring consistency and expectations for HQIM for all districts, and that is why we do what we do! To ensure every student has access to HQIM and the high-quality PL associated with it."
