Why One Type of Data Isn't Enough: Rethinkng Curriculum Decisions

Too often in education, high-stakes test scores are the only data used to make major instructional and curriculum decisions. But what if that limited view is costing your district time, money, and student growth? In this video, Dr. Carrie Hepburn of Compass PD shares how a Curriculum Cycle—backed by multiple types of data over time—can help district leaders make wise, intentional decisions that actually move the needle. 🔍 Learn why: • Class visits, PLC feedback, and surveys offer critical insights • Systems prevent knee-jerk curriculum changes • A Professional Learning Cycle enhances long-term instructional change • Multi-source data improves student achievement and educator wellness If you’re a superintendent, curriculum leader, or building principal, this video offers a practical, proven approach to sustainable improvement. 📌 For more about how Compass PD helps districts build systems that work: 🌐: https://compass-pd.com/contact-us/

We need math to be college-or-career ready!

From trades to tech to the military—basic math is a gatekeeper.

Yet too many students are left behind because they miss:
▪️ Number sense
▪️ Fractions
▪️ Ratios

We help schools close these gaps early.

🚨 Math is the #1 academic reason students decide not to go to college or to drop out.

It’s not just about Algebra—it starts with number sense.

Weak math foundations = blocked access to college, careers, and confidence.
