About This Report
· Ed Reports reviews are one tool to support curriculum decisions. We do not make recommendations, and our reports are not prescriptive.
· Use this report as part of a comprehensive, teacher-led adoption process that prioritizes local needs and integrates multi-year implementation planning throughout.
· Ed Reports evaluates materials based on the quality of their design: how well they structure evidence-based teaching and learning to support college and career-readiness. We do not assess their effectiveness in practice.
