About
ICUBiT is an NSF-funded research project.
ICUBiT stands for Improving Curriculum Use for Better Teaching because that is our ultimate goal—to understand the capacity required to use curriculum resources productively to design instruction. We believe this is an area of teacher knowledge and ability that is not well understood or developed in teacher education or professional development, but is central to what teachers do on a daily basis. It is our view that understanding and improving curriculum use is critical to improving teaching at scale.
The ICUBiT project is directed by Janine Remillard (Penn) and Ok-Kyeong Kim (WMU) and is run by a team of researchers at Western Michigan University and the University of Pennsylvania. We are guided by an expert team of advisors.
