One of the members of the 4QM Board of Advisors is Barbara Davidson, President of StandardsWork and Executive Director of the Knowledge Matters Campaign. These organizations are dedicated to improving student learning outcomes nationwide by advocating for knowledge building literacy curricula. In this blog post, Barbara and StandardsWork’s Chief Program Officer Kristen McQuillan describe some lessons from their experience with the high quality literacy curriculum movement that could (and should) apply to social studies. We couldn’t agree more — which is why we’re working on our own 4QM curriculum right now. Happy reading!
