Great teachers are critical for the success of each student … ,[object Object],53 percentile points Source: Eric Hanushek, “Teacher Quality”; Andrew Rotherham, “Achieving Teacher and Principal Excellence”; McKinsey and Company, “How the World’s Best-Performing School Systems Come Out on Top” ,[object Object]

… and the impact of ineffective teachers perpetuates the educational divide ,[object Object],Source: Andrew Rotherham, “Achieving Teacher and Principal Excellence”; Eric Hanushek, “Why Public Schools Lose Teachers”; The Bridgespan Group, “Reclaiming the American Dream” Under-served students are significantly more likely to be taught by an ineffective teacher Not surprisingly, the static teaching environment is reflected in consistently lower outcomes for under-served students

Many good teachers are frustrated ,[object Object],Source: Teacher interviews. October 2008 ,[object Object],Teachers working hard to help all students succeed often find themselves: ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],“ I don’t even have time to take care of my own class. Any free time is spent doing paperwork, making copies, or putting out fires. I just have time to get done what has to get done!” “ Whenever I find something new, there is always a big chance that it is going to fall on its face in the classroom. I usually don’t have time to take that chance” “ I always end up making the materials, because life seems so much easier if you just do it yourself”

Open and Shared Content offers enormous cost savings ,[object Object],Note: Conservative assumptions used. Additional savings could result when Curriki is adopted by a group of teachers, such as a district. Simba estimates the K-12 instructional material market to surpass $10 billion by 2010; NCES estimates $14.7 billion for 2006. Current Curriki membership equals 2 percent of U.S. teachers; 10 percent is a conservative assumption for the future. Sources: 2006 U.S. Census; Simba’s “Publishing for the K-12 Market”; National Center for Education Statistics. 3.1M K-12 Teachers Instructional Materials Market 4.5K Avg. per teacher materials spend $14B Annual instructional materials spend 310K Curriki Educators (10% adoption) 4.5K Avg. per teacher materials spend $1.4B Annual spend on these teachers today 310K Curriki Educators (10% adoption) 2.25K New spend per Curriki Educator (50% less) $700M New annual spend on Curriki Educators $700M Annual Savings with Curriki

As well as tremendous potential social benefit ,[object Object],Source: 2006 U.S. Census; National Center for Education Statistics; Levin, “Costs and Benefits of Reclaiming Dropouts.” Today 4M Current 9th graders 74% Current average graduation rate 2.960M Current graduates/year 3.6M Remaining students 74% Average grad. rate With 10% Curriki Educators 2.964M Graduates/year with 10% Curriki Educators 400K 9th-graders with Curriki Educator 75% Grad. rate with Curriki Educator 4K $209K Higher student achievement will lead to more high school graduates ... X $840M Possible Lifetime Social Benefit per Class with Curriki Educators Through increasing teacher effectiveness, Curriki will have a positive impact on student achievement ... And each incremental graduate will have a lifetime social benefit ...
