Rob Waldron, CEO of Curriculum Associates, shares the company's unique story and mission in an interview with Andy Rotherham of Real Clear Education and Bellwether Education Partners.
As a company, we have both a responsibility and an opportunity to reduce the effects of systemic racism for the students, educators, and educational communities we serve and for our own team members. We have embraced the critical nature of this work. We are committed to ensuring Curriculum Associates is a champion of anti-racist ideals in our service to schools, products, and company culture.
Anti-racism in Products and Services:
We are digging deep into ways to incorporate anti-racism and racial justice in our approach to content and in the ways in which we train and support educators engaging in that content. We recognize this work is as much about identifying problematic omissions as it is about providing rich, inclusive content and instruction that helps students engage deeply in critical analysis. While this work will support change in classrooms across the country, we believe it is critical to providing increasingly equitable experiences for Black and Indigenous students and People of Color (BIPOC).
Anti-racism in Our Corporate Culture:
Our team is deeply engaged in moving our organization forward. A tool we’ve been using to guide this work is the Anti-racist Multicultural Organization Continuum, which lays out the steps and traits of moving from a monocultural organization to an anti-racist, multicultural one.
We are committed to becoming a wholly anti-racist, multicultural organization and have set targets that hold us accountable to moving in this direction.
Some examples of initiatives we’ve launched in 2020 to support this include: the start of an employee-led anti-racist book club; partnerships with nonprofits and agencies specializing in helping diverse candidates find opportunities and thrive in the working world; investing in and supporting new employee resource groups; revamping job descriptions to be more inclusive; piloting a mentorship program to support Black and Hispanic employees; and adding new policies for job postings to increase diverse applicants.
However, our efforts won’t stop there. In 2021, our leaders will create a formalized Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) roadmap with detailed implementation plans and goals for the next two years.

Start your career at Curriculum Associates! Join an innovative, mission-centered workplace that’s invested in the growth of young professionals ready to start their career journey. Our different opportunities include internships, co-op programs, fellowships, and our robust Management Development Program. Learn more.
About our Fellowship Program:
Our Fellowship Program is an ideal opportunity for co-op students and recent college graduates looking to get real-world working experience to discover a career path that’s right for you. This full-time six-month program (from July through December) is a mini version of our Management Development Program, allowing students the chance to get their foot in the door of Curriculum Associates, the fastest growing company in the edtech industry.
For the first three months, you’ll work on one of our onboarding teams where you’ll learn the ins and outs of the business from your colleagues, industry leaders, our customers, and even our CEO. For the final half of the program, you’ll be placed in a rotation program and join a team (e.g., People Operations, Marketing, Finance, and so on) that interests you, working on impactful projects to help the department reach their goals.
This program will build your knowledge and skills so you can succeed in your career from the start. And, for graduates, this is also a chance to secure a full-time role if a slot on your preferred team is available.
About our Tech Co-op Program:
As a Curriculum Associates co-op, you’ll accomplish meaningful work and be exposed to different aspects of software development as you grow your engineering career. In this program, you’ll be placed on (and become an integral part of) a team composed of people from many groups such as UX/UI designers, project managers, content writers, and technical producers, while also being part of a larger community including your peers of other co-ops and interns.
Curriculum Associates is dedicated to helping you gain the skills and experience you want by pairing you with targeted projects. Some examples of projects you can work on are developing features that directly benefit our users, ensuring code quality testing, and taking ownership of designing and implementing engineering solutions to enhance our products.
Starting with smaller assignments to understand our tools and processes, you’ll work to ramp-up to more complicated, larger assignments as you learn and apply your skills.
About our Management Development Program:
The Management Development Program (MDP) is an elite three-year rotational program designed to develop future leaders in education, technology, and business. In this program, you’ll work across a variety of departments and functions, contributing to highly visible initiatives where you can make an impact during your first year. These departments include but are not limited to: Marketing; Professional Development; Operations; Product Management; and Educator Support.
By combining these dynamic rotations with close mentorship and coaching from the company’s leadership team, the MDP allows you to build skills across a diverse set of core competencies, preparing you for your professional career or to pursue your MBA.
