1

Student Learning

Rigorous college and career-ready standards can improve and deepen student learning. What is taught matters.

2

High Expectations for All

Not all students have the same access to high-quality instructional materials and this perpetuates the opportunity gap.

3

Equity

When teachers are provided with high-quality materials and aligned professional learning, this increases the opportunity for all students to learn and grow.
