ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION

Rivet Education devises simple, practical, and scalable strategies that promote excellent instruction for every student in every classroom, every day. Our work is driven by our core values — equity, quality, and an unwavering commitment to students and teachers — and increasing access to high-quality instructional materials and aligned professional learning.

Specifically, we support education leaders in creating successful strategies to scale the use of high-quality instructional materials by:

• Providing a roadmap for high-quality curriculum implementation—who should be doing what and when
