The Simpson Curriculum Materials Center (CMC) provides examples of textbooks, reference books, children’s literature and teaching materials used in elementary and secondary schools to Bradley’s education students and other interested individuals.
Dedicated in 1990 through the generous support of Howard M. and Kathryn Jacquin Simpson, the CMC includes a wide array of materials and services to enhance curriculum development and design. Our collection holds over 8,900 materials, including textbooks on health, language arts, mathematics, music, phonics, reading, science, social studies, and family and consumer sciences. We also have a variety of children’s literature, games, software, kits, manipulatives and an Ellison lettering machine.
