District curriculum is made up of aligned content and instructional materials selected through a formal process, supplemental and intervention materials, instructional strategies facilitated by teachers, and focused interventions intended to support individual students.

The instructional materials evaluation conducted by the state evaluates materials for alignment to CCSS, provides assurance of accessible instructional materials (AIM), and describe quality materials based on established criteria used in a public evaluation process. The evaluation process includes a representative group of evaluators who use the established criteria to rate and provide comments that contribute toward district decision making about which quality instructional materials they will invest in.

The instructional materials adopted, selected and purchased by the school district aims to save teacher and student time and support teaching and learning aligned with the standards and assessments. Ensuring instructional materials are aligned and serving to support both teaching and learning is a process that can be continuously improved upon but may be measured on an ongoing basis through student performance and achievement.

Assure Instructional Materials are Aligned

Steps

1. Revisit the Asset Inventory conducted in the Transition phase to identify gaps in existing instructional materials.
Math Inventory ELA Inventory Literacy Inventory

2. Adopt "Bridge Year" materials vetted and adopted through the state process. List & evaluator comments available October 2012.
3. Examine the Quality Review Rubric for lessons and units when considering supplemental materials.
The Tri-State Collaborative (composed of educational leaders from Massachusetts, New York, and Rhode Island and facilitated by Achieve) has developed criterion-based rubrics and review processes to evaluate the quality of lessons and units intended to address the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics and ELA/Literacy.

4. Consider selection and purchase of intervention materials intended to support specific populations of students.

5. Begin to consider core-adoption team for the selection, adoption, and purchase of materials to support CCSS.
Consider including educators, students, parents and members of the public in review teams. Statewide review for CCSS: CCSS ELA and Literacy (2012-13) and Math (2014-15).

Begin Using Bridge Year Materials

Steps

1. Provide training for teachers in "Bridge Year" materials; review use of previously adopted materials for possible inclusion.

2. Make teachers aware of additional, supplemental resources available from both publishers and Open Education Resources (OER).

3. Develop an Inventory Tool/Protocol for determining which materials are being used in classrooms.

4. Consider conducting "impact study evaluations" from professional development and training associated with the new materials.
