Archived Reports

Yearly review of the CURATE project occurs to ensure coherence and alignment with DESE guidance and resources, such as the DESE Educational Vision, Mass Literacy, English Learner Blueprint, Standards of Effective Practice, and Supporting Culturally and Linguistically Sustaining Practices, among others, and to strengthen CURATE reports based on user feedback.

In August 2024, DESE began archiving older CURATE reports. This change was made to better highlight the most current reviews of curricular products. An archived report indicates that the information is outdated, and districts should prioritize products with more recent reviews. This is especially important when a publisher has released a new edition or has discontinued an older one.

Publishers report they typically release new or enhanced editions every three years. As recommended best practice to support continuous improvement, local education agencies (LEAs) should establish a curriculum review cycle to routinely evaluate their current materials and determine the extent to which they are still well serving all students.

Archiving Process

CURATE reports will be archived based upon the following:

1. Rubric Version: The curricular product was reviewed with an older or pre-August 2021 CURATE rubric that is now substantively outdated.
2. Newer Reports: The newest edition of a curricular product was reviewed and has a published CURATE report.
3. Report Publication Year: It has been five years since the CURATE report for the product was published, though the product itself may be older than five years.
   • Note: Because of the market landscape for aligned Science and Technology/Engineering (STE) curricular products, CURATE reports for STE products that meet this archiving criterion will not be archived in SY26.

Archived Reports

The CURATE rubric version (SY) refers to the calendar year in which the school year ends: If the school year is listed as "SY19," it means the rubric from the 2018-2019 school year.
