The next stage

Help improve the curriculum.

The first K–12 draft is written and illustrated. Help test it in classrooms, review it, translate it, or make it easier to access.

The first pilot cohort

Work with a unit and share what you learn so the next version fits real teaching conditions.

  1. Choose a unit Pick a grade and topic that fit your learners.
  2. Teach and observe Use the lessons as written or record the adaptations your setting requires.
  3. Report usable evidence Share preparation time, material barriers, clarity, learner engagement, assessment usefulness, and specific revisions.
  4. See the curriculum change Pilot findings become public issues and revisions, with participating educators credited when they choose.
Privacy guardrail. The first cohort is curriculum improvement, not formal human-subjects research. Do not submit learner names, contact details, health information, images, or other personal student data.

A budget built from real work

Pilots and reviews will establish the time and cost of the work. Each funded outcome will publish its estimate and actual spending.

Outcome Initial cost model What will be published
Human review Lessons × review hours per lesson × reviewer rate Time logs, reviewer discipline, findings, revisions, and sign-off status
Classroom pilot Educator support or stipend + coordination + analysis Settings, lessons used, preparation time, barriers, feedback, and resulting changes
Translation and localization Source words × translation rate + cultural and subject review Language, locale, word count, reviewers, revisions, and publication status
Print, offline, and web delivery Scoped implementation hours + production and service costs Deliverables, accessibility checks, distribution format, and recurring costs
Coordination and administration Named hours or an explicit percentage, never hidden inside program costs Funding received, spending by category, balance, and variance from the estimate

We’ll publish funding received, spending, remaining balances, and changes to estimates. Contributions do not buy ownership of the curriculum.
