Kindergarten Report Overview

The instructional materials reviewed for Kindergarten do not meet expectations for alignment. The materials do not spend the majority of time on the major clusters in the grade, but they do assess standards from the grade appropriately. The materials do not foster coherence within the clusters of the grade and do not support the full intent and connections that naturally occur between the standards. In the instances where more than one cluster was identified in a lesson, they were generally addressed separately. Since the materials do not meet the expectations for focus and coherence in gateway 1, they were not reviewed for gateway 2.
