Curriculum Implementation with Robert Pondiscio and Rivet Education
Article: “Taking Curriculum Implementation Seriously”

Quote: “This involved multiple phases, which Rivet categorizes as ‘exploration; program installation; initial implementation; consistent implementation; and innovation and sustainability.’”
Robert Pondiscio Bio:
Robert Pondiscio is a senior visiting fellow at the Thomas B. Fordham Institute and a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI)
He writes and speaks extensively on education and education-reform issues, with an emphasis on literacy, curriculum, civic education, and classroom practice. His 2019 book, How the Other Half Learns, based on a year of observations at New York City’s Success Academy network of charter schools, was praised as “morally disturbing” and “unsparingly honest” by the New York Times. After twenty years in journalism, including senior positions at TIME and Business Week, Robert became a fifth-grade teacher at a struggling South Bronx public school in 2002. He subsequently served as vice president for the Core Knowledge Foundation, taught civics at Democracy Prep Public Schools, a network of high-performing charter schools based in Harlem, New York, and was a Senior Fellow and Vice President for External Affairs here at Fordham.
Robert’s articles and op-ed columns on education have appeared in the Wall Street Journal, the Atlantic, the New York Daily News, Education Next, and dozens of other publications. A frequent speaker and expert guest on education issues, he has appeared on the Fox News Channel, CNN, and elsewhere.

As co-founder and principal consultant at Rivet Education, Annie works with state and local education agencies to develop and execute cohesive academic strategies to scale the use of high-quality instructional materials with a specific focus on the communications needed to execute those strategies well. Most recently, she has been supporting the Delaware, New Mexico, and Maryland Departments of Education with the implementation of HQIM.
Before founding Rivet, Annie served as the Director of Communications for the Louisiana Department of Education, where she managed and led educator relations for the agency. During her seven years with the agency, she developed and executed state-wide and national public relations strategies related to the state’s academic plan, impacting over 100 school systems and 50,000 educators state-wide. Her passion for starting Rivet lies in the impact that she witnessed the state’s alignment of standards, curriculum, assessments, and professional development have on schools and school systems across the state.
