Pre-K Mathematics: A Multicomponent Supplementary Math Curriculum for Pre-Kindergarten Children, Especially Those from Families Experiencing Economic Hardship.

Pre-K Mathematics is a multicomponent supplementary math curriculum for pre-kindergarten children, intended to target the development of informal mathematical knowledge in young children, especially those from families experiencing economic hardship. Pre-K Mathematics consists of a sequence of small-group math activities with concrete manipulatives that teachers implement in the pre-K classroom, as well as home math activities in the form of picture strips for parents to use with their children. The program includes teacher training and coaching, and the content of the activities is based on developmental research about the nature and extent of early mathematical knowledge. The curriculum targets a range of pre-K mathematics concepts and skills, including number, operations, geometry, pattern knowledge, and measurement, and is designed to prepare children for each of the clusters of standards included in the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics at kindergarten.

University of Chicago School Mathematics Project (UCSMP) is a curriculum that aims to support student development of deeper conceptual mathematical understanding. The curriculum presents students with challenging mathematics and aids in student acquisition of skills and concepts, focusing on bringing the real world into the classroom by emphasizing reading, problem-solving, everyday applications, and the use of calculators, computers, and other technologies. Each UCSMP course includes a student textbook, teacher's edition, teacher resources, assessment resources, and technology resources. Lessons in the student book contain activities, full examples, and partially completed guided examples to model skills and problem-solving. Students are encouraged to assess their own understanding with an End-of-Chapter Self-Test correlated to objectives. Projects provided at the end of each chapter are designed as extended activities, giving students experience using real data. The use of technology, including graphing calculators at all grade levels, geometry systems, spreadsheets, the Internet, and other computer applications, is an essential component of the curriculum.

Fusion Reading: A Supplemental Reading Intervention for Middle and High School Students Scoring Below Grade Level on Standardized Reading Measures.

Fusion Reading is a supplemental reading intervention designed for middle and high school students who score at least 2 years below grade level on standardized reading measures. Fusion Reading builds on the work of the Strategic Instruction Model's Learning Strategies Curriculum and Xtreme Reading by integrating some of the same strategies, focusing on reading, and extending the time frame from 1 to 2 years in duration. Struggling students are enrolled in the supplemental intervention for one class period for 5 days a week. The developers recommend no more than 15 students per class. Fusion is a structured intervention with a specific curricular scope and sequence of high-leverage reading strategies within a framework focused on explicit comprehension, vocabulary, and motivation strategies, with teachers providing scaffold instruction, practice, feedback, and monitoring progress with ongoing formative assessments. Fusion is a fully developed instructional package, with all materials (seven teacher manuals and three student workbooks) produced and ready for full-scale implementation.

Achieve3000: An Online Literacy Program to Improve Reading Achievement of Adolescent Readers.

Achieve3000 is an online literacy program that aims to improve reading achievement in students, particularly those in grades 2-8. The program involves a five-step instructional routine: students respond to a before-reading poll, read a nonfiction article tailored to their individual reading level, answer activity questions, respond to an after-reading poll, and answer a thought question. The program includes over 15,000 nonfiction articles and provides tools and tasks to help students comprehend what they read, such as highlighting text, taking notes, and identifying key themes. Teachers can review student responses and track progress, and the program automatically adjusts the reading level of the text as students' reading abilities improve. Additionally, the program offers a "Stretch Article" feature, which provides students with an article written at a higher level than their current reading ability, allowing them to challenge themselves and improve their reading skills. The program is designed to be used as a supplement to standard core reading curriculum and can be accessed on multiple devices and platforms.

The Expository Reading and Writing Curriculum (ERWC) is a college-preparatory English language arts curriculum developed by the California State University (CSU) to improve students' readiness for college-level English and future careers through the in-depth study of expository, analytical, and argumentative reading and writing. The ERWC is designed to be a highly engaging curriculum for preparing students to become critical consumers of texts and effective communicators. It consists of 67 modules that teachers can choose from to design a yearlong course, with activities that integrate reading, writing, and discussion and move from professional texts to student texts. The core structure of all the modules, the Assignment Template, progresses along an "arc" from Reading Rhetorically to Preparing to Respond to Writing Rhetorically. The ERWC also includes concept and portfolio mini-modules, as well as modules for full-length books, dramas, foundational documents, and issues. The curriculum is designed to be flexible, allowing teachers to choose modules based on what will serve their students in a given year. The ERWC is intended to be taught in grades 11 and 12, with the goal of preparing students for college-level English and future careers.

Kindergarten PAVEd for Success (K-PAVE): Increasing Vocabulary Knowledge of Low-Income Kindergarten Students.

Kindergarten PAVEd for Success (K-PAVE) is a kindergarten vocabulary instruction program designed to supplement regular classroom literacy instruction, targeting the improvement of students' vocabulary knowledge. K-PAVE has a standard protocol and materials for training and supporting teachers, and it is built around 240 target words introduced in 24 weekly units of 10 target words per unit. The target vocabulary words are explicitly taught to students and then reinforced through repeated exposure in multiple contexts, including storybook reading, extension activities, and classroom conversations and discussion. K-PAVE is built around three instructional components: Explicit Vocabulary Instruction, Interactive Book Reading, and Adult-Child Conversations. The program provides guidance to teachers on the ideal frequency of reading aloud with students and encourages teachers to engage in extended conversations with individual, pairs, or small groups of students to help them develop strong oral vocabulary skills. The teacher training and support protocol includes an initial large group training, three small-group follow-up telephone conference calls, and up to three rounds of classroom observation to document whether the key elements of K-PAVE were being implemented as intended, with follow-up remediation discussions with teachers about elements rated as not fully implemented.
