The instructions in the material are unclear, and navigation is difficult. The material is unorganized.
Educators and students can navigate the material independently. Material is organized in a way that educators can pick up wherever and build discussion within the material. The lesson would be considered direct instruction led by the Teacher. Students will be able to read the instructions on the worksheets to complete, but they will need the teacher to lead the PowerPoint in order to receive accurate information and understanding.
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.

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 script that was included with each slide was helpful. The teacher guide provides a structured flow for the entire lesson, including discussion questions and key points to highlight on each PowerPoint slide. However, it does not offer guidance on differentiating instruction for students with disabilities, multilingual learners, or other diverse learning needs. Material has many educator notes to help scaffold the lesson plan for learners. The details are written in italic's to help subsidize the educators ability to navigate the instructional design.

The worksheets provided formative assessments and summative assessments with great depth-of-knowledge and application questions. Students participate in a decision-making activity where they consider choices that require conscious thought rather than passive outcomes. They review a list of potential decisions and reflect on which might be important to address now or in the future. Next, they examine the steps needed to make those decisions. On a separate worksheet, My Success Plans, students reflect on their goals for education, career, and relationships, following the order of the Success Sequence. This assessment is well-suited for 8th graders, and it could be adapted in alternative ways—beyond writing—to support diverse learning styles. A summative assessment is an item that summarizes learning at the conclusion of a unit, semester or course. This material has multiple formative assessments to supplement instruction. This is a 90 minute lesson plan on Marriage and Family. Similar worksheets as the high school material. No extension or further thinking activity included.
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	In addition to the content outlined in “Adequate,” this material offers multiple evidence-based supplemental resources and opportunities for learning about various forms of cultural philosophies and epistemologies from Utah, the United States, and worldwide.

The material has limited themes of social and cultural histories within the United States and globally. The material provides limited examples of inclusive or cultural real-life experiences and does not include diverse characters.	The material does not meet the requirements within the ethnic studies core standards and curriculum requirements. (53E-4-204.1).
Socio-economic diversity was demonstrated well. The material provides prompt discussion questions educators can ask. Items include how culture, family relations, and socioeconomic opportunities influence our decisions. See page 13 in full script.
Shared Values and Character Traits	The material extends beyond the content outlined in "Adequate", it includes elements that connect Utahns to the world. The material offers multiple evidence-based supplemental resources and opportunities for cultivating character traits in students. Some examples may include characters with a variety of personalities, education, income, occupation, or behaviors that illustrate character traits.	The material focuses on the shared values of diverse people and communities, the common elements that unite Utahns, and displays some character traits in its imagery and content. It aims to cultivate character traits in students, such as courage, leadership, intelligence, integrity, honesty, respect, morality, civility, duty, honor, and service, along with principles found in the Constitution.	The material lacks a sense of shared values or common elements that unite Utahns. Furthermore, the material has limited resources addressing civic and character education.	The material does not meet the requirements within the ethnic studies core standards and curriculum requirements (53E-4-204.1) and civic and character education. (53G-10-204)

It isn't very clear how the material could be above and beyond the adequate term. There are videos, the presentation is consistent with borders to help make it esthetically easy to read. However, no obvious material that can move this to a high extensive, above and beyond material in the physical characteristics. Materials feel outdated. The graphics used to simplify the Success Sequence were colorful and engaging.
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.
Material does not share the need to further purchase supplemental material. Indicates all material is present in the single package. Material can stand alone.

The material is adaptable for educators after the purchase of the license. Material is adequate on its own, but is adaptable for further educator extension. Adaptability is excellent. Once the PowerPoint is downloaded, teachers can add applicable, clarifying information. Because the video is played through YouTube, closed captions can be accessed as well as translations into many languages. Educators or students can utilize the material, but it may not be customizable for the needs of diverse learners. Would like to see worksheets electronically friendly.
