Rivet Education

At Rivet Education, we believe that high quality curriculum and professional learning are some of the most important investments school systems can make to ensure students receive the best education possible. Our belief stems from our work in Louisiana, where we saw the impact these investments can have on students and teachers. We also saw that shifting to a high-quality curriculum requires patience, hard work, and effective change management at every system level.

Unfortunately, our professional learning systems are broken, and few educators have the opportunity to participate in meaningful and engaging curriculum-based professional learning. Our recent market research found that only one in three teachers find the professional learning they receive to be useful. That means that a majority of the $18 billion spent annually on professional learning is wasted, resulting in missed opportunities to positively impact the quality of teaching and learning.

Our mission at Rivet Education is to define high-quality professional learning and create tools and services that support state and local education agencies in putting that definition into practice. Our team has over 30 years of combined experience scaling the adoption and implementation of high quality curricula at the local, state, and national levels. We know what works, what doesn’t, and how to remove barriers to successful implementation.

It’s been a rewarding journey to create our foundational tools in the past couple of years and help our clients scale the use of high-quality curricula and professional learning in their states. We are committed to improving the field of curriculum-based professional learning in this country so that educators receive the best support and students get the educational opportunities they need, want, and deserve.
