Initiative Adoption and Curriculum Implementation

Schools often adopt initiatives for various reasons like peer pressure, the need to showcase productivity, or financial benefits. Superintendents may feel pressured to implement new ideas to show activity and growth to their board. Initiatives tied to funding might drive reactive decision-making. Collaborating with publishers on curriculum development is crucial to bridge the gap between instructional strategies and classroom implementation, preventing blame on teachers for outcomes not aligning with expectations due to inadequate initial conditions.
