Perfect timing! High-quality curriculum is in the "more effective, lower cost" quadrant. I suspect that effectively implementing curriculum is higher cost than we think. E.g. coaching could be helpful, and that shows up in the "more effective, higher cost" quadrant. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/28/u...

Cara Jackson@carajackson.bsky.social · 3w agoCurriculum reform is not new. We have research from folks like @mpolikoff.bsky.social & @davidblazar.bsky.social on how curriculum affects students.

So you want to share slow reveal graphs with colleagues! 📊 I created some slide decks for people to use at faculty meetings at PLCs (openly licensed, CC-By 4.0). They don't recreate the full experience of professional learning I facilitate, but they're a nice invitation into the work. Link below!

by Jenna Laib So you want to share slow reveal graphs with colleagues! I am thrilled! While I'm the person that popularized the routine, I did not create it on my own, and I hope that it has a life beyond me and my collaborators. After I give a session -- whether it's at a conference or a private PD -- there are typically a few requests for slides.
