Curriculum Infrastructure, Powered by SMEs, AI, and Learning Science
NovoDia builds coherent curriculum infrastructure for school districts, using AI and learning science, to support the full curriculum lifecycle — from design and adaptation to classroom use. Our AI is purpose-built for curriculum work, guided by pedagogical intent and subject-matter expertise, helping districts reduce fragmentation and maintain high-quality, standards-aligned instruction as needs evolve.
NovoDia’s curriculum reflects what great teaching looks like—structured, intentional, and flexible. Their integration of proven instructional models with real-world adaptability is something I’ve never seen from a publisher. It’s clear they’re not just delivering content—they’re designing learning experiences that work for every classroom.
Design Methodologies We Utilize:
-
Backward Design:
Starts with clear learning outcomes and builds lessons to ensure every activity leads toward those goals.
-
5E Instructional Model:
A structured, inquiry-based approach that moves students through Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate, promoting deep understanding.
-
Bloom’s Taxonomy:
Lessons progress from basic recall to higher-order thinking skills, developing critical reasoning and problem-solving abilities.
-
Gradual Release of Responsibility:
Scaffolded instruction that transitions from teacher-led to independent mastery, building confidence and autonomy.
-
Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL):
Encourages students to explore, question, and construct knowledge actively, making learning meaningful and engaging.
-
Universal Design for Learning (UDL): Ensures accessibility by incorporating multiple means of representation, engagement, and expression for all learners.
Embedded Design Principles:
-
Standards-Aligned by Design:
Every curriculum is mapped to state, local, and national standards to ensure seamless adoption and compliance.
-
Driven by Data & Field Insights:
Content is refined using usage data, academic outcomes, and ongoing educator feedback.
-
Grounded in Learning Sciences:
Built on evidence from cognitive science, motivation theory, and research-based instructional design.
-
Designed for Iteration & Flexibility:
Curricula can evolve with changing standards, priorities, or student needs—no vendor lock-in.
-
Culturally Responsive & Representative:
Content reflects the identities and voices of diverse student communities.
-
Optimized for Multimodal Delivery:
Content works across print and web; visual, auditory and kinesthetic; individual, group and classroom work; in-class and remote.
