About The Curriculum Resource Center

The purpose of the Tufts Department of Education Curriculum Resource Center (CRC) is to provide a  space where educators of all grade levels, from kindergarten through graduate school, can gather to explore ways to use technology to create a better learning experience for their students. Seminars are held throughout the year in the CRC, to highlight some innovative projects, such as VideoPaper Builder, Early Algebra (an exploration of the potentially algebraic nature of arithmetic and how to use it to advantage in elementary grade math activities), and the Fulcrum Institute for Leadership in Science Education. The CRC is an ideal place for software developers to field-test curriculum materials (paper or electronic).

The CRC is located on the first floor of Paige Hall on Tufts' Medford campus. It was opened in January 2001 to serve as a resource for three groups: students in the Department of Education (both undergraduate and graduate), the Department of Education faculty, and PreK-12 teachers in the surrounding communities.

The CRC houses traditional resources (books, journals, and other written materials), as well as computer resources. It currently maintains 11 desktop computers (6 Mac, 5 Windows) with facilities for digital video and image editing.
