Instructional Materials Reviews

What began as a launch of 87 grade-level reviews of K-8 math materials in 2015 now includes more than 1,000 reviews of K-12 math, English language arts, foundational skills, and science programs. EdReports reviews traditional textbooks, digital materials, open education resources, supplemental foundational skills materials, and interim assessments.

Our curriculum reports focus on the presence of the standards, how well the standards are sequenced, the depth with which standards are included, and other important characteristics of high-quality instructional materials. No other review process provides as much detail about how materials meet or do not meet the criteria, including specific examples from the programs.

Through this growing database of evidence-rich reviews, we empower districts to insist upon aligned materials and be able to choose the materials that best address local needs and priorities.

Reviews in Action

School districts representing more than 15 million students have been documented using EdReports to make decisions about instructional materials, including 98 of the nation’s largest 200 districts.

EdReports Educator Reviewer Network

Our network of content reviewers includes nearly 900 educators hailing from 50 states and Washington D.C. Educators work in a variety of districts with students of all socio-economic and ethnic backgrounds.

EdReports reviewers serve as leaders at all levels of education. They are instructional coaches, classroom teachers, directors of curriculum and instruction, and assistant superintendents.

Collectively these educators bring thousands of years of experience to the review process, and through the hundreds of reports created have impacted colleagues and students far beyond their own districts.

Leadership Development

We value the expertise and diverse skills educator reviewers bring to our organization and are committed to supporting continued leadership development for our network.

Content reviewers with EdReports have access to a supportive network of fellow educators and more than 25 hours of virtual and face-to-face professional learning on the standards and shifts, as well as the EdReports review rubric and process.

Reviewers learn with leading practitioners and national experts in the field with additional opportunities for growth through such as representing EdReports at conferences and creating thought-leadership for the curriculum and instruction space.
