Spider Learning ELA (2019)

About This Report

EdReports 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.
EdReports 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.
Check the top of the page to confirm the review tool version used. Our current tools are version 2.0. Reports based on earlier tools (versions 1.0 or 1.5) offer valuable insights but may not fully align with current instructional priorities.

Report Overview

Summary of Alignment & Usability: Spider Learning ELA | ELA

ELA 6-8

The instructional materials for Spider Learning ELA Grades 6-8 do not meet expectations of Gateway 1. The materials do include high quality, engaging texts for students in 6th, 7th, and 8th grades, but they do not include every required text type called for in the standards. Students are provided some opportunities to engage in text-based writing and discussion, but this is not comprehensive nor consistent.

Since the materials do not meet expectations for Gateway 1, they were not reviewed for Gateway 2 or Gateway 3.
