Provide high-quality, research-based curriculum and instructional practices
A well-designed curriculum can aid districts in providing equitable educational opportunities and equip students for their post-secondary careers or education. However, creating and executing a successful curriculum can be a complex process.
Hanover Research will collaborate with you to attain your curriculum and instructional objectives. Through research that informs your curriculum writing, we will assist you in establishing a rigorous, culturally appropriate, and student-centric curriculum.

Provide all students with a high-quality, well-rounded educational experience
Implement instructional practices across the district
Your Hanover advisory team will help your district create a departmental action plan to ensure each team is executing on critical teaching and learning goals.
Identify curricular needs and address gaps in programmatic access
Our experts will analyze course completion data to reveal the pathways students in your district follow in core content areas and allow you to identify and address gaps in programmatic access.
Ensure teachers have the skills they need to provide excellent instruction
Our online professional learning platform was created for teachers by teachers designed specifically to support practitioner learning, quality, and effectiveness through interactive customizable modules, practical tools and resources, and discussion boards.
Benchmark against other districts
Hanover will help you maximize your district’s investments and make confident programming decisions by examining each of your program’s impact on your students, and their learning outcomes, against what your peers are doing.
Provide a high-quality education that prepares students for the 21st century
Hanover will evaluate if your curriculum is currently preparing students for college and careers and assess any CTE programs currently in use to ensure they align with current labor market trends.

Agua Fria Union High School District Tracks Graduate Outcomes with Turn-key Database
“One of the obstacles we faced was our students would graduate and we didn’t know where they were headed. We wanted to see if they were matriculating to secondary studies or if they were going into the workforce directly … Hanover designed a survey and database to track that. It’s a turn-key operation … We wouldn’t have been able to do that at our size of a district but now that resource is in place.”
– Dr. Dennis Runyan, Superintendent, Aqua Fria Union High School District

Chula Vista Elementary School District Partners with Hanover to Support Students to Achieve Greater Success
“While it would be fantastic to fully analyze initiatives, programs, and curriculum internally on our own, the truth is that human resource constraints make that option very difficult. Hanover Research is the solution that we rely on year after year to support our work with students; to prove, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that our expenditures for student achievement are giving our stakeholders what they expect coming from our district.”
– Matthew R. Tessier, Ed.D., Assistant Superintendent, Innovation and Instruction
