Proven to Boost Teacher Retention and Child Growth
Conducted by the National Institute for Early Education Research (NIEER) at Rutgers University, the independent randomized controlled trial showed improvement in retention and children’s growth when classrooms implemented The Creative Curriculum® as part of the connected ecosystem with our GOLD® assessment and professional development solutions. Results were achieved across public schools and private child care centers.

“Overwhelmingly, what I heard from educators [using The Creative Curriculum Cloud] was how smooth lesson planning went. ‘You mean I can just do this and this and this and my lesson plans are done for me?’ Yes, it’s that easy. It was almost as if they were in disbelief that it could be that easy.”
