The Curriculum Marketplace Is Overwhelming

Districts are inundated with one-size-fits-all educational products, each promising results but rarely delivering impact. School leaders are left to make high-stakes decisions with limited time, limited data, and even more limited support. The result? Wasted resources, overburdened educators, and instructional materials that miss the mark, especially for underserved communities.

We Help You Choose—and Customize—What’s Best for Your Schools

Applied Learning Lab guides K–12 schools through three core services:

Consulting: We conduct deep needs assessments grounded in data, dialogue, and local context to help leaders make informed, confident decisions.

Curriculum Design & Customization: We partner with teachers to adapt and enhance curriculum resources so they are culturally sustaining, instructionally relevant, and classroom-ready.

Learning Sciences Integration: We curate and adapt high-quality, open-access curricula from the learning sciences—resources backed by research but often hidden from view.

Professional Learning: We offer hands-on, research-informed professional learning to support effective curriculum implementation. Our services are tailored to your school’s context, focusing on building educator capacity, strengthening instructional practices, and ensuring sustainable implementation with fidelity.

Context Matters. Evidence Matters. Educators Matter.

We believe effective curriculum is not only research-based but also community-rooted. Our approach centers the lived experiences of your teachers and students, respects your local context, and helps educators take ownership of the materials they use every day. That’s how we build capacity—and that’s how we build impact.
