Catlin Goodrow, consultant at Evidently Reading, addresses common assumptions teachers and leaders have about high-quality curricula. Why aren't more districts, schools, and teachers using high-quality curricula? We debunk these assumptions in this episode!
- A central curriculum is boring/irrelevant.
- Providing a curriculum disrespects teacher expertise.
- Common Core-aligned curricula are "too rigorous" for our struggling readers.

- Teachers spend 12 hours a week finding materials, 99% rely on materials they find or create themselves.
