Our work is driven by our core values—equity, kindness, quality, joy, and an unwavering commitment to students and teachers—and is focused on increasing access to high-quality instructional materials (HQIM) and aligned professional learning.
Specifically, we support education leaders in creating successful strategies to scale the use of HQIM by:

Evaluating professional learning providers through the Professional Learning Partner Guide ; and
Creating simple and practical resources to smooth the path forward and accelerate progress.
Rivet’s Instructional Materials Implementation Tool and Dashboard collect and analyze data on curriculum implementation across the K-12 system to identify trends and next steps for each role: system leaders, school leaders, and teachers.
