Our Editorial Process

How we provide useful, accurate, safe, and consistent content

Since 1927, Carolina has delivered as much value as we can each day to educators with accurate, high-quality materials that support you and engage your students. In our content, we use an established editorial process to create resources you can trust and confidently share with students, colleagues, and others.

Our process emphasizes usefulness, accuracy, safety, and brand consistency—values
that ensure you receive quality content from a reliable, experienced source.

  • Usefulness

    Content isn’t worth your time unless it has value for your classroom. Our experts and editorial team produce resources that are engaging, informative, and practical for enhancing students’ learning experience. That includes activities, lab skills resources, articles, videos, and much more.

  • Safety

    The safety of you and your students is paramount at Carolina. Our dedication to proper safety procedures shows in all our activities and other resources. From downloadable safety agreements to clear safety instruction in activities, we aim to protect everyone in your classroom.

  • Accuracy

    There’s no place for pseudo in our science—or in our content. You’ll find resources developed by current and former educators, subject matter experts, and writers who not only understand your needs but continually work to deliver information you can trust to share with your students. We regularly review our content and develop new resources that keep pace with new discoveries and emerging fields.

  • Brand Consistency

    We work to maintain a voice of compassionate, knowledgeable leadership and support. We care deeply for the educators we serve, the students we reach, and the future of hands-on, minds-on science education. You’ll find consistency across our resources to make science the best part of the day.

At Carolina, we’re here for every teacher and every learner. The world of science advances quickly, and we advance with it. But here’s what will not change: our dedication to you and your students’ success—unwavering since 1927.

A Note about Generative AI

Carolina’s AI policy ensures legal and ethical use of generative AI technology. We follow existing review processes when AI helps us make decisions or analyze information that may be subject to bias. We also attribute AI-generated content to the application that created it through a footnote or similar notation.
