Content

Item	3 - Extensive	2 - Adequate	1 - Inadequate	0 - None
Alignment	The content of this material is evidence-based and aligns with grade-level Utah core standards. It is current, well-researched, and referenced from reliable sources.	The content of this material is evidence-based or research-based. The material aligns with most grade-level Utah core standards but will need supplementary materials to ensure coverage of all the Utah core standards.	The content of this resource aligns with a few grade-level Utah core standards but is not evidence-based or research-based.	The content of this resource does not align with any of Utah's core standards.
No alignment to the Utah core standards was submitted for this series. English Language Development is ranked as reviewed, but not recommended. Several literature standards were not addressed. Foundational skills must be taught in a systematical, daily, and sustainable routine. English Language Development failed to meet this criterion. The program needs foundational skills embedded in daily lesson plan. (phonics and phonemic awareness) In the upper grades 3-6 the hard bound stories did not exercise rich text. The online resources and stand alone consumable workbooks for close reading were not text rich and mirrored what had already been used for instruction within the hardbound book. This allowed for repeated reading, but not for skill integration. Students and teachers need more reading material to apply learned skills.
Navigation	Educators and students can navigate the material independently. Instructions are clear and understandable. The material is well organized.	The material contains instructions that are understandable and easy to navigate. Students may need educator support to navigate the material.	The material is only usable with direct educator support due to a lack of clear instructions. Students will need educator support to navigate the material.	The instructions in the material are unclear, and navigation is difficult. The material is unorganized.
Scaffolding within the lesson plans was evident on a daily basis and was well planned and laid out for teacher use. The leveled readers were not available for review. Online resources did allow for differentiated instruction. The writing portion of the daily routine provided teachers with the direction needed to address various writing levels. The sentence stems were scaffolded as were the writing supports.
Instructional Support	This material goes beyond the content outlined in "Adequate" by providing problem or project-based content with integrated skills and concepts from various disciplines to help students make sense of the material. It also supports the learning needs of all students, including those with disabilities, multilingual learners, etc., by offering flexibility and maintaining high standards.	The material provides supplemental resources and some examples to educators of ways to deliver instruction. It contains a few of the following: scaffolding lesson plans, personalized/differentiated instruction, experiential learning, concept mapping, questioning techniques, and family involvement.	The material contains a limited amount of instructional support.	The material does not provide instructional support or examples for the educator.
The teacher edition was well laid out and easy to follow along with. The unit cards as well as the online guide were clear and concise. These would make it easy for teachers to navigate the lesson and teach from.
Assessments	This item has not been graded.

Ethnic Studies Ethnic studies in core standards and curriculum should be a narrowly tailored incorporation of age-appropriate opportunities that naturally arise through education without pretextual effort in courses, programs, or activities where ethnic studies is not a primary focus. The material should incorporate a curriculum of people and cultures that reflect the state’s various demographics without commentary that seeks to violate the neutrality standard established in codes: 53B-1-118, 53G-2-103, 53G-2-104, 53G-2-105, 67-27-107,	This item has not been graded.

Material Characteristics

Item	3 - Extensive	2 - Adequate	1 - Inadequate	0 - None
Physical Characteristics	This material goes beyond the content outlined in "Adequate" by incorporating modern, up-to-date, and relatable visuals.	In physical terms, the material is interactive and provides high-quality audio-visual and tactile experiences for all users.	The material offers limited or low-quality audio-visual and tactile experiences for students, but it is reusable.	The content either has low audio-visual quality or is not intended for reuse.
Online material and physical components were engaging and provided high quality experiences for both students and teachers. 5th and 6th grade components seem juvenile for the age group.
Technical Standards	This material surpasses the content outlined in "Adequate" by ensuring the safeguarding of student data privacy and easy installation or access without technical assistance. Furthermore, any licensing information is clearly stated in the description.	The materials meet all the requirements of federal and state laws, as well as accepted technical standards such as ISTE Standards and VPAT Compliance. Additional technical specifications and limitations, including hardware requirements, bandwidth demands, and software/web access restrictions, are clearly outlined in the description. The design of the materials allows for error-free installation or access without the need to purchase additional components.	The material is constrained by specifications that require additional materials, technical assistance, hardware, software, or infrastructure. Access to resources within the material expires after a trial period.	Student data privacy is at risk.
Met all guidelines. However, the title of the program English Language Development was confusing and misleading. At first glance we thought it was the ELL portion of the program.
Adaptability	The material is currently relevant and adaptable for educators and students. The material can be customized for the needs of diverse learners.	Educators or students can utilize the material, but it may not be customizable for the needs of diverse learners.	The material has limited options to address adaptability for the needs of diverse learners.	The material is not suitable for different educational settings with diverse learners.
There was no reference to supplemental materials in the teacher guides. We found the online resource page to be more helpful.
