Message from the Director: Yes We Can in 2009!
| With the start of the new year, I would like to thank you for your continued support of Curriki. So much has already been achieved in the previous year, and yet this is just the beginning. The Curriki community is growing fast, and the site is becoming a powerful resource for students, parents, and teachers worldwide; this community will significantly change the way we think about teaching and learning. |

- On-going content development, with more than 23,000 learning assets and courses uploaded into the Curriki resource repository.
- Technological improvements for greater ease of use, plus a new home page design and advanced search features
- Launching the Curriki Review System to review and evaluate curricula from our members by master teachers

Looking ahead to 2009, Curriki has an ambitious agenda for completing some important projects that will not only grow the resource repository but also will facilitate access to high quality educational curricula. Our continued development and success will require significant input and support from both individuals and organizations. We invite you to keep in touch with us and to help shape the future of education by supporting Curriki.
