What is a high-quality curriculum?
Rivet defines HQIM in ELA, Math, and Science as those rated ‘Meets Expectations’ on EdReports in all grade levels for their grade band (K–2, 3–5, 6–8, 9–12).
If your curriculum is not listed, then it does not meet these criteria or has not been reviewed to date.
Our curriculum expertise

Certifications we've received

Why is this important?
The purpose of the Guide is to support educators in part by focusing district demand on services that are most likely to lead to the adoption and strong implementation of HQIM. By highlighting the type of clients PL providers are best designed to serve, schools and school systems can evaluate whether a particular provider would be a good fit for them.

This partner's approach and services
Sample scopes of work
What are these sample scopes of work?
Each provider in the PLPG provides a sample scope of work for each type of professional learning they are approved for. The scopes of work represent engagements with actual clients and are intended to give users a better understanding of how the provider engages with teachers and leaders in each type of professional learning.
How we address equity
Why is this important?
High-quality professional learning supports teachers in effectively engaging all students in rigorous tasks, including students with unfinished learning, students learning English, and students with special needs.
Implicit racism plays a major role in perpetuating achievement gaps in classrooms across the country. Rivet is committed to dismantling racism by connecting educators with professional learning partners who confront implicit racism through culturally responsive services that support teachers in providing high quality instruction to all students every day.
How we build district capacity
Why is this important?
It is important for PL providers to have a gradual release plan with the schools and districts they work with. This response highlights how this provider builds capacity within a school system to effectively support the implementation of high-quality curriculum.
How we provide curriculum-aligned PL
Workshops
Coaching
PLCs
Consultations
What are these approaches?
High-quality professional learning may be delivered in a variety of structures, depending on content, audience, or type of session. Rivet has defined four types of professional learning structures that enable the delivery of HQPL: workshops, coaching, collaboration/PLCs, and consultation.
