Who Gets Access to Quality? A Data-Driven Guide to California’s Math Adoption List

California is preparing to release its first list of recommended math curricula in more than a decade — a decision that will shape what 5.5 million students learn statewide. 

On Wednesday October 29, 1pm PT / 4pm ET, CEMD will host a 25-minute webinar (followed by live Q&A) to unpack the data behind current curriculum trends, highlight persistent inequities in access to high-quality materials, and offer practical insight into what to look for in the forthcoming recommendations. Featured speakers include CEMD Executive Director Lora Kaiser, Allison Carter (UnboundEd), Annie Morrison (Rivet Education), Crystal Gonzales (English Learners Success Forum), and Jody Guarino (Orange County Department of Education).

Join us for this timely briefing designed to help district leaders, educators, and the media understand what’s on the horizon.

• Meet the partners and their roles: Get a quick picture of how CEMD, ELSF, Rivet Education, UnboundEd, and OCDE can support districts in selecting and implementing HQIM.
• Know what to look for when the CA list drops on Nov 5th: Understand why selecting HQIM matters and which additional criteria to weigh (instructional vision, coherence across grades, equity for all student groups).
• Leave with practical supports: Learn about tools and resources available to help navigate the CA list and your local adoption process.
