We’re so glad to hear you had a positive experience during your time at CA! We certainly recognize that certain times of year at CA can be hectic, but we also recognize the need for a healthy work-life balance among employees. The health and wellbeing of our staff support the success of our overall mission: to improve classrooms for both teachers and students. We also recognize that the quality and scope of our service support is just as critical as the quality of our products. Thanks for your contributions towards a successful goal! -Shrina

Thank you for sharing this feedback — and for the energy you brought to your time here. It's genuinely great to hear that the people and the professional opportunities stood out to you.
Supporting the growth of everyone on our team — including those early in their careers — is something we care about, and it's meaningful to know that showed up in your experience. We appreciate you taking the time to share it.
Before working at Curriculum Associates, I was an elementary teacher using i-Ready in my classroom for both reading and math. It was such an important resource to me... so much so that I actually remember Googling "how to work for i-Ready" because I wanted to learn more about the company behind it! That eventually led me to the EdTech Fellowship, which gave me the chance to see the corporate side of education after only really knowing the classroom side. I really enjoyed the fellowship and knew pretty quickly that I wanted to stay at CA if there was ever an opportunity. I’ve now been here for almost two years and have had the unique experience of being in the fellowship, a temporary role, and now a full-time role. I’ve truly had a great experience in each stage and have felt supported as I’ve continued to grow and learn. One thing I really appreciate about CA is how mission-aligned people are. As someone who has been both a teacher using the product and now an employee working behind the scenes, I can say that people here care about supporting teachers and students. That shared purpose makes the work feel meaningful and makes it easy to feel connected to the people around you!!
Cons
The transition from teaching into the corporate world can come with a learning curve (which I think the Ed Tech Fellowship really helped with!)

Thank you so much for sharing this. It’s especially meaningful to hear from someone who first experienced i-Ready in the classroom and later joined the team through the EdTech Fellowship.
We’re so glad to hear you’ve felt supported throughout each stage of your journey at Curriculum Associates. Knowing that the mission and care for teachers and students has felt genuine both inside and outside the classroom means a lot to us.
We also appreciate you mentioning the transition from teaching into the corporate world. That shift can definitely come with a learning curve, and we’re glad the fellowship helped make it feel more approachable.
Thank you again for sharing your experience and for being part of the team!
