Tap on each step to explore
Once you've gotten acquainted with Newsela content, we'll have a conversation about your priorities and vision.
What are your near-term goals for curriculum and instruction?
How do your teachers currently find content?
What instructional frameworks and strategies do you leverage?
What challenges do you face with existing resources?
What's your vision for the next 3, 5, and 10 years?
We review your goals and scope and sequence documents, and determine the type of content needed to bring your curriculum to life.
We build a proof of concept for your teachers to pilot, and refine it based on your feedback. We then build your entire Custom Collection.
