3rd Grade Report Overview

The instructional materials reviewed for Grade 3 do not meet the expectations for alignment to the CCSSM.

The materials failed to meet the criteria of gateway 1, where they were reviewed for focus on the major work of the grade and for coherence. The materials assess above Grade 3 standards in a way that negatively impacts the structure of the materials and do not allocate a large percentage of instructional materials to major standards of the grade. Some positive evidence was noted in the coherence criterion, but too many areas of weakness lead to the instructional materials not meeting quality expectations for coherence. Due to the materials not meeting expectations for focusing on major work and coherence, they were not reviewed for rigor and Mathematical practices.
