AppleTree Institute for Education Innovation, a mission-driven nonprofit, sought to bring their evidence-based, early childhood instructional model to Texas.
Cathy was brought in to:
- Navigate Texas Education Agency requirements to become an approved curriculum
- Provide input and feedback to create a Texas version of the Every Child Ready prekindergarten curriculum
- Connect AppleTree to Texas leaders and educators
- Review funding proposals
- Craft an effective communication strategy
AppleTree now has a clear communication strategy for Texas. Every Child Ready achieved the recommended threshold across all domains and a perfect score on most domains in the Texas Education Agency’s Resource Review process. Texas districts can now adopt AppleTree’s curriculum for use in prekindergarten classrooms.
