Our Unique Approach

Some challenges, such as high dropout rates and low test scores, are widely recognized. Yet these are generally symptoms of deeper issues that reside within the core of the educational experience—the classroom. Kaplan K12's Custom Curriculum Solutions address the core issues underlying your district's specific challenges. We offer research-based curriculum-centered approaches to school improvement that can be tailored to the unique needs of a particular school district. Kaplan's Custom Curriculum Solutions focus on four areas that can have the greatest impact on classroom learning and student outcomes:

How curriculum is designed

Is curriculum clearly aligned to state standards? Is it written at the right level of proficiency? Does the curriculum present a coherent picture from subject to subject and from grade to grade?

How curriculum is taught

Has a model of effective teaching been defined? Do teachers have adequate resources? Are teachers able to differentiate instruction within the classroom?

How curriculum is supported

Are educators receiving appropriate training in new programs? Are they receiving ongoing mentoring and coaching? Do teachers have resources for remediation and enrichment? Are administrators gaining instructional leadership skills?

How learning is measured

Are teachers receiving real-time data about students' performance? Is this data presented in a way that makes it easy for teachers to tailor instruction and remediation, and for administrators to monitor instruction?
