Curriculum Evaluation Guidelines

When reviewing curricula for Tier I instruction, it is essential to ensure they do not include instructional practices that are not aligned with the scientific evidence base of how children learn to read.

The Curriculum Evaluation Guidelines are designed to highlight any non-aligned practices, or “red flags,” that may be present in the areas of:

  • Word Recognition

  • Language Comprehension

  • Reading Comprehension

  • Writing

  • Assessment

Reviewer Workbook

The Curriculum Evaluation Guidelines Reviewer Workbook helps curriculum review teams rate and record evidence of red flags.

The Curriculum Evaluation Guidelines is a tool that is considered a “living document” meaning that it will be periodically updated based on user feedback, suggestions for optimizing use, etc.

Why do I need to fill out the information requested?
