On May 22, 2017, the Pivot Learning Board of Directors approved the acquisition of the Consortium on Reaching Excellence in Education, Inc. (CORE) through a generous gift from the founder and owner Bill Honig, as well as owners Catherine Honig and Linda Diamond. This gift brings together two of the longest tenured and most respected education service providers to districts and schools in California and the nation.

On February 7th, 2017, Pivot Learning launched the California Curriculum Collaborative in partnership with EdReports.org. Calcurriculum.org offers free independent analysis of K-12 Math and English Language Arts materials from national publishers as well as best practices for curriculum adoption.

Pivot hosted the first in a series of Change Design webinars, "Building Trust with Your Community," to review key lessons for leaders working to engage their communities in big change. We also explored specific resources and tools that can guide change design projects towards success.
