A Newsletter for Education Business Leaders [ ] [Advertisement]( [edBiz Update | The news roundup for education business leaders] Powered by [EDWEEK Market Brief]( [EDWEEK MARKET BRIEF](  | [EDUCATION WEEK](  | [ADVERTISE](mailto:mbakley@educationweek.org?subject=Advertising%20Opportunities)  | [JOBS]( Demand for supplemental curriculum–in math, reading, and other subjects–surged in many schools districts during the pandemic, as school scrambled to fill gaps they saw in their academic resources. What’s the appetite for supplemental resources now, and how are districts weighing those needs against the value of comprehensive, core materials?  That’s the topic of one of many great panel discussions we’re holding at the upcoming EdWeek Market Brief Summit, Nov. 13-15 in Denver. Education companies will gather for market intel, insights from district decision-makers – the curriculum session features panelists from major K-12 systems in Illinois, North Carolina, and Ohio – as well as networking and more. Reserve your spot [here](.
