EngageNY.org16 Publishers’ Criteria

EngageNY.org17 The K–8 Publishers’ Criteria I.Focus, Coherence, and Rigor in the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics II. Criteria for Materials and Tools Aligned to the K–8 Standards III. Appendix: “The Structure is the Standards”

EngageNY.org18 II. Criteria for Materials and Tools Aligned to the K–8 Standards 1. Focus on Major Work: In any single grade, students and teachers using the materials as designed spend the large majority of their time on the major work of each grade.

EngageNY.org19 II. Criteria for Materials and Tools Aligned to the K–8 Standards 2. Focus in Early Grades: Materials do not assess any of the following topics before the grade level indicated.

EngageNY.org20 II. Criteria for Materials and Tools Aligned to the K–8 Standards 3. Focus and Coherence through Supporting Work: Supporting content enhances focus and coherence simultaneously by engaging students in the major work of the grade. 4. Rigor and Balance: Materials and tools reflect the balances in the Standards and help students meet the Standards’ rigorous expectations, by (all of the following, in the case of comprehensive materials; at least one of the following for supplemental or targeted resources):

EngageNY.org21 II. Criteria for Materials and Tools Aligned to the K–8 Standards 4. Rigor and Balance: Materials and tools reflect the balances in the Standards and help students meet the Standards’ rigorous expectations, by (all of the following, in the case of comprehensive materials; at least one of the following for supplemental or targeted resources): a. Developing students’ conceptual understanding of key mathematical concepts, especially where called for in specific content standards or cluster headings. b. Giving attention throughout the year to individual standards that set an expectation of procedural skill and fluency. c. Using the materials as designed to spend sufficient time working with engaging applications, without losing focus on the major work of each grade.

EngageNY.org22 II. Criteria for Materials and Tools Aligned to the K–8 Standards 5. Consistent Progressions: Materials are consistent with the progressions in the Standards, by (all of the following): a. Basing content progressions on the grade-by-grade progressions in the Standards. b. Giving all students extensive work with grade-level problems. c. Relating grade level concepts explicitly to prior knowledge from earlier grades.

EngageNY.org23 II. Criteria for Materials and Tools Aligned to the K–8 Standards 6. Coherent Connections: Materials foster coherence through connections at a single grade, where appropriate and where required by the Standards, by (all of the following): a. Including learning objectives that are visibly shaped by CCSSM cluster headings. b. Including problems and activities that serve to connect two or more clusters in a domain, or two or more domains in a grade, in cases where these connections are natural and important. c. Preserving the focus, coherence, and rigor of the Standards even when targeting specific objectives.

EngageNY.org24 II. Criteria for Materials and Tools Aligned to the K–8 Standards 7. Practice-Content Connections: Materials meaningfully connect content standards and practice standards. 8. Focus and Coherence via Practice Standards: Materials promote focus and coherence by connecting practice standards with content that is emphasized in the Standards. 9. Careful Attention to Each Practice Standard: Materials attend to the full meaning of each practice standard.

EngageNY.org25 II. Criteria for Materials and Tools Aligned to the K–8 Standards 10. Emphasis on Mathematical Reasoning: Materials support the Standards’ emphasis on mathematical reasoning, by (all of the following): a. Prompting students to construct viable arguments and critique the arguments of others concerning key grade-level mathematics that is detailed in the content standards b. Engaging students in problem solving as a form of argument. c. Explicitly attending to the specialized language of mathematics.

EngageNY.org53 What we’ve learned… Highly Qualified Writers and Reviewers take up to 6 months to calibrate  Devotion to/ experience in a content area does not a CCSS writer/ reviewer make  A good teacher does not a curriculum writer/ reviewer make  Much of what must shift is sacred Rhetorical alignment and actual alignment are two different things CCSS stickers are easy to produce; true quality, rigor, and alignment are not It often takes 6-8 revision cycles to get to necessary levels of quality/ rigor/ alignment Deep understanding of the documents presented is critical
