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.

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.
This material has modern, up-to-date, colorful, and relatable visuals and engagement activities. Our team did some of this review with young children, and they were so engaged that they wanted to continue doing the lessons.
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.
There were no glitches and there were very smooth transitions.
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.
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. Notes: The material inside the lessons doesn't give much freedom to make changes to the content. However, our team would anticipate that teachers have a choice in which materials they want to use.
