Curriculum and course design
Course maps, scope and sequence, unit and lesson architecture, and standards alignment, built backward from what learners have to be able to do and carried through approval when a course needs it.
Curriculum Development & AI Integration | Educational Research & Consulting
Curriculum that survives contact with a classroom.
Fox Curriculum designs courses, assessments, and instructional materials for the companies building what students actually use, then tests whether the design did what it claimed.
Services
What you can hire this practice to do
For edtech companies and publishers, building toward schools, districts, and higher education.
Assessment and alignment
Assessments, rubrics, and scoring guides that measure what the course claims to teach, and audits of existing material that find out where it does not.
AI in instructional design
Advising for teams building learning products with AI, on the one constraint that matters: the tool has to require the thinking rather than perform it.
Professional development
Designed and handed over as materials, delivered live, or delivered online, for teachers and adult professionals who will not sit through a session that wastes their time.
Selected work
Tested against outcomes
A map that cannot survive questions about sequence, format, budget, and evaluation is not yet a map.
Curriculum Design · UC a-g Approval
UC-Approved Digital Music Course
A school needed a full-year arts elective that would count for university admission, with nothing existing to build from.
Result: designed from a blank page and carried through University of California a-g subject-area review to approval.
Outcome-Driven Design
College Readiness Seminar
First-generation college-bound seniors were missing not ability but a process for applying.
Result: 90% acceptance among participants, from a two-week program built backward from admission rather than forward from topics.
Action Research · California Induction Program
Digital Practice and Skill Transfer
An AI-powered adaptive platform reported gains, and nobody had checked whether the gains were real or memorized.
Result: 70% → 75% accuracy at only 17% question overlap, which rules out memorization and leaves transfer.
