In today’s educational landscape, K-12 schools are increasingly tasked with personalizing curriculum and lessons to meet the unique needs of their students. This customization requires access to high-quality, culturally responsive content that aligns with educational standards—a task that is often complicated by the challenges of maintaining copyright compliance and content discovery.
RightFind Curriculum, a new combined content and licensing solution from CCC that directly addresses these challenges by offering EdTech and curriculum development companies, districts, and schools a powerful tool, combined with the Annual Copyright License for Curriculum and Instruction, for incorporating published content from a wide range of publishers into curriculum and educational materials.
Identifying High-Quality Content to Engage Students
According to EdReports’ 2021 State of the Instructional Materials Market, “Teachers want materials aligned to state standards, offer support for multilingual learners, and provide culturally relevant content and approaches, but few believe their materials meet these needs.”
“Excerpts, poems, newspaper and magazine articles, and other shorter texts create a bridge for students to make a connection between themselves and the core curriculum,” states CCC’s Sam Kalman in her insight about the importance of using published content in curriculum development. “Teaching is a human service, so educators spend a tremendous amount of time searching for content that will reach even the most reluctant of readers. The combined RightFind Curriculum solution can help reduce their search time, and they will know that what they find meets their institution’s standards.”
One of the standout features of RightFind Curriculum is its robust content search and discovery capabilities combined with CCC’s Annual Copyright License for Curriculum and Instruction which provides broad set of reuse rights covering millions of titles. The solution offers a curated collection of high-quality content, including book excerpts and articles, pre-selected to engage students. These texts are not only rich in educational value but are also standards-aligned, ensuring they are ready for use in K-12 curricula and instructional materials.
In addition to the curated content, the combined RightFind Curriculum solution provides access to a comprehensive content database from participating publishers. This database expands the range of materials available to users, enabling them to discover and incorporate additional articles and book excerpts, as needed, for their projects.
The content search and discovery platform’s user-friendly search tools allow educators to quickly filter content by grade level, subject, genre, Lexile score, and more, ensuring that EdTech companies, curriculum developers, and educators can find the right material to fit their specific instructional needs.
“We offer aggregated content search and discovery with our other K-12 products and it has been very popular with our users,” says CCC’s Senior Director of Information and Content Services Tim Bowen. “Through our partnership with EBSCO, we are excited to now offer an enhanced version of the tool within the RightFind Curriculum solution which will greatly help reduce the time and effort needed to search and find specific content across our publishers’ works.”
