Navigating the complexities of finding and incorporating high-quality, standards-aligned content into K-12 curriculum has long been a challenge for EdTech and curriculum development companies, districts, and schools. With the increasing demand for culturally diverse, trustworthy, and engaging content, the task of obtaining permissions for copyrighted materials can be both time-consuming and costly. CCC is now making this process easier with the launch of RightFind Curriculum, a comprehensive solution designed to meet the evolving needs of the educators and those that serve the academic market.
What is RightFind Curriculum?
RightFind Curriculum is CCC’s newest offering, and it’s the first all-in-one combined content and licensing solution tailored specifically for EdTech and curriculum development companies, districts, and schools. Users can easily search for, discover, and incorporate high-quality, copyrighted content into their instructional materials, EdTech applications, and online platforms.
The solution includes the Annual License for Curriculum and Instruction, which provides reuse rights for over one million copyrighted English and Spanish language works from more than 90 leading publishers. The solution also includes an advanced search and discovery tool, curated collections of standards-aligned texts, and personal content discovery support from a CCC expert. Publishers featured in RightFind Curriculum include well-known names like Crabtree Publishing, Highlights for Children, National Geographic, Rosen Publishing, ScienceNews, and Time.
Addressing Copyright in Curriculum Development
One of the biggest challenges faced by EdTech and curriculum development companies, districts, and schools is the complexity of reuse licensing for copyrighted content. The majority of core and supplemental texts used in instruction are still under copyright in the U.S., raising concerns about how to secure timely permissions. Traditionally, obtaining copyright permissions could take six to eight weeks or longer—a timeline that doesn’t align well with the fast-paced needs of curriculum development cycles and classroom learning.
The combined RightFind Curriculum solution streamlines this process, making it easy to discover and lawfully reuse excerpts, articles, images, and videos in your educational materials. By offering a broad set of reuse rights that cover millions of titles, this solution helps users manage copyright compliance more efficiently and reduces administrative overhead, allowing educators and developers to focus on what truly matters—creating impactful learning experiences.
Advanced Search and Discovery Tools for Educators
EdTech and curriculum development companies, districts, and schools often need to quickly find content that meets specific criteria, such as Lexile score, grade level, subject matter, length, and genre, to align with educational standards and address the diverse needs of their students. RightFind Curriculum’s powerful search and discovery tools and curated collection of high-quality texts, combined with a broad set of reuse rights covering millions of titles, empower users to get the exact content they need with ease.
Emily Sheahan, Vice President & Managing Director at CCC, highlights the importance of these tools: “Curriculum developers need the ability to quickly and easily search for and discover content to align with educational standards and meet the varying needs of learners. RightFind Curriculum’s efficient content search and discovery tools, combined with a broad set of reuse rights, help users get the specific content and rights they need.”
Expanding Beyond Texts: Images and Videos
In addition to texts, the solution also enables the reuse of millions of images and videos in curriculum and lessons. The platform includes resources from reputable sources like The Associated Press and SuperStock. Moreover, CCC has partnered with educational video company Boclips to offer access to its Boclips Classroom platform, which features over two million premium-branded educational videos aligned to state standards from more than 650 brands and creators.
