7th Grade Report Overview

The instructional materials reviewed for Grade 7 do not meet the expectations for alignment to the CCSSM.

The instructional materials meet expectations for the first of the two focus criteria by not assessing above Grade 7 standards, but they do not meet the second of the two criteria by allocating too large of a percentage of instructional materials to non-major standards of the grade. Some strengths are found and noted in the coherence criterion, but too many areas of weakness lead to the instructional materials only partially meeting quality expectations for coherence. Overall, the instructional materials do not consistently develop the grade-by-grade progressions and foster coherence with more connections within Grade 7. Due to the materials not meeting expectations for focusing on major work and coherence, they were not reviewed for rigor and mathematical practices.
