How Rotation.org Saves Churches Hundreds of Dollars a Year in Curriculum Purchasing
Rotation.org is not only the official home of the Workshop Rotation Model, we are also home to a radical new way of creating and sharing great curriculum at a fraction of the traditional cost.
In addition to our free public lesson forums, we sponsor a Writing Team that produces the very best Rotation Model curriculum in existence. See the Writing Team's Lesson Sets!
Our existence and the adoption of the Rotation Model across the continent has spurred numerous denominational and independent publishers to write their own "Rotation style" curriculum. Some is better than others. Some isn't very good at all. Much of it has gone out of print as publishers tend to have short attention spans and are always looking for the "next thing" to sell to churches.
As of 2020, here are the major publishers still making Rotation curriculum. There are a couple of smaller Rotation publishers who are no longer writing or improving their materials but whose materials can still occasionally be found somewhere online or used in a church somewhere. They include "Cornerstones," Potters Workshop, and "Mustard Seeds."
Are you WAY overpaying for Rotation Sunday School curriculum?
A look at what some of the publishers are charging.
A "set" is a collection of lessons, usually 6 to 8 of them all on one story.
- UMPH/Cokesbury's PowerXpress Rotation-style curriculum is $15 per workshop lesson (so one month with 4 different workshops would be $60).
- Deep Blue's "Rotation Stations" curriculum is $44.99 per one lesson set.
- The ELCA's Sparkhouse's Rotation curriculum is $44.99 per lesson set.
- PCUSA's "We Believe" Rotation curriculum is $14.95 per individual workshop lesson.
- Potter's Rotation curriculum is $65 per lesson set. (out of print in 2020)
- Cornerstones Rotation curriculum (out of print)
- Group's Faithweaver "Friends” Rotation Curriculum is $105 per quarter (out of print in spring 2021).
