Improving Teaching Performance to Unlock Curriculum Success

Improving Teaching Performance to Unlock Curriculum Success

Your district might have a strong curriculum, backed by research and aligned to standards. But if your teachers aren't equipped to deliver it effectively, your investment won’t translate to student success.

Curriculum is the roadmap—but teachers are the drivers. Without proper training and instructional skill, even the best curriculum can't produce results.

Here’s the disconnect: Districts often assume that delivering a new curriculum alone is enough. But when teachers lack the tools and techniques to engage students, assess learning, and adjust instruction, the curriculum stays on paper rather than coming to life in the classroom.

To fix this, districts must prioritize teaching performance:

• Offer PD focused on curriculum execution—not just theory

• Provide in-classroom coaching and modeling

• Give teachers time and support to refine their delivery

• Build a culture of feedback and continuous improvement

When teachers are empowered to teach the curriculum well, student achievement rises. The curriculum works—but only when instruction works.
