Curriculum Associates reviews

Thank you for your honest review and for your many years of service. We never want to hear that we're making things harder for our valued employees. As a first step to addressing your concerns, we've shared this review with our leadership team. A bit of background on the recent changes to our ownership structure you referenced: In keeping with our founding commitment to philanthropy, the majority of our shares were recently gifted to charity. This gift resulted in a donation of approximately $200 million, one of the 10 largest gifts by an individual in the United States in 2017. This transaction included partnership with a firm committed to our long-term success and to expanding our support to more and more classrooms. The result has been a win-win—we gained world-class, mission-aligned business partners, and deserving charities gained funding to improve outcomes for the communities they serve. Throughout this process, we remained committed to transparency with our employees. Leadership distributed monthly written updates and presented quarterly updates at company-wide meetings, and our CEO encouraged all employees to ask him questions directly or submit anonymously via a questions box. Our team is the same, our commitment to quality is the same, and our founding mission to make classrooms better places for teachers and children is stronger than ever. - Shrina
