What we Do
Through our unique “Draft ONE” program, we bridge the persistent gap between written curriculum and what is actually taught in classrooms so that schools and districts can honor their teachers’ expertise, reflect their community values, and support who their students are now and who they are becoming through rigorous and relevant curriculum.
Meet the Owner
Dr. Tiffany Shimmel
Tiffany Shimmel has spent the last 17 years in education, but her very first teaching moment, as a freshman in college, still sets the tone for her approach today. In the spring of 2006, she was required to teach taxes and assembly-line economics to second graders in Pittsburgh’s Hill District. It shouldn’t have worked. But it did. That early win taught her three things she still carries into the classroom today: never underestimate students, never back down from a wild teaching challenge, and sometimes you have to fake it until you realize you had it all along!
Tiffany brings that same fearless energy whether she’s teaching, coaching, or helping schools rebuild curriculum from the ground up. Through Demonstra Curriculum Services, she’s on a mission to partner with educators and communities to build curriculum that’s bold, relevant, and relentlessly student-centered.
Our mission is to create positive change in schools by aligning curriculum with the real needs of students, teachers, and communities. We empower teachers and leaders to own that alignment through intentional curriculum design, dynamic implementation, and ongoing curriculum revision — ensuring that curriculum is not just a document, but a living tool for equity, excellence, and relevance.
