About the Florida Materials Navigator

We Help Districts Through the Adoption Process. The Difference Is We Clarify Every Step.

The Florida Materials Navigator was created to help districts navigate the complexity of selecting and implementing high-quality instructional materials.

Built with district leaders

Shaped by district practice

Informed by Florida districts

You Shouldn't Have to Piece the Process Together on Your Own

Leading instructional materials decisions means managing a lot at once.

  • Multiple stakeholders
  • Competing priorities
  • Tight timelines

The work doesn't happen in one place, either. Information is spread across sources. Decisions happen across teams.

District leaders don't need more information.

They need structure, clarity, and support that reflects how the work actually happens.

The Florida Materials Navigator guides district teams through selecting, adopting, and implementing high-quality instructional materials.

Navigate Each Step with Clarity and Confidence

Know Where You Are

Move forward with a clear sense of where you are in the curriculum adoption process, and what comes next.

Focus on What Matters

Focus on the decisions that matter most at each stage, with clearer priorities along the way.

Find What You Need

Find the right tools and resources when you need them, without searching across multiple sources.

Built Alongside Florida School Districts

The Florida Materials Navigator was built alongside districts planning for, selecting, and implementing instructional materials.

Through multiple partnerships with district leaders across Florida, we've seen firsthand what makes this process challenging, and what can help.

The Navigator is informed by nearly a decade of work with districts by Impact Florida, including:

  • Setting a clear instructional vision to guide materials decisions
  • Defining what high quality means for their students, teachers, and context
  • Evaluating curricula from the state-adopted list based on fit, not just features
  • Planning for implementation so materials work in practice, not just on paper

It reflects the real questions district teams ask.
It's shaped by the friction points that slow decisions down.
And it's grounded in how this work happens.

The Navigator is an online resource shaped by doing this work, with districts, over time.

Resources for Every Stage of the Work

District teams move between planning, reviewing options, aligning stakeholders, and preparing for implementation.

Depending on where they are in the process, district leaders often need different kinds of support.

The Florida Materials Navigator was built specifically for Florida districts and is organized around how this work actually happens.

It's not a random collection of resources, but a clear, connected way to move through the process from planning to implementation.

The Navigator brings resources together in one place so district teams can move forward with clarity.

Designed for the People Doing the Work

The Navigator is built specifically for Florida districts, reflecting state requirements, district structures, and the real challenges Florida leaders face.

Whether you're experienced or stepping into this work for the first time, the Navigator supports how teams work together. With the help of the Navigator, you'll build a shared understanding and reduce the need to figure it out alone.

Built for Today and What Comes Next

The Florida Materials Navigator is built to support the work districts are doing today, and to evolve alongside that work over time.

As district needs change, the Navigator will continue to grow too.

The goal isn't to support a single adoption cycle.

It's to create a system districts can return to—again and again—as teams plan, decide, implement, and refine their approach over time.

Part of a Broader Effort to Support District Leadership, Educators, and Students

The Florida Materials Navigator is part of Impact Florida's broader work alongside districts across the state.

Impact Florida exists between the classroom and the statehouse— advancing educator practice, serving as a strategic connector, and influencing systems so that great teaching is supported and sustained at every level.

Impact Florida works with districts to:

  • Strengthen instructional decision-making
  • Connect research to classroom practice
  • Create opportunities for shared learning and collaboration

Through initiatives like the Math Materials Cadre, Focus Cadre, and other instructional materials cadres, districts:

  • Come together to work through real challenges
  • Learn from one another
  • Build stronger approaches to instructional materials and implementation

The Navigator was created to support more Florida districts through the instructional materials adoption process.

  • Makes guidance and resources accessible when teams need them
  • Extends support across districts with a shared structure and approach

And it helps scale that support across districts, so more teams can benefit from the shared clarity, structure, and shared learning.
