CURATE Reports

CURATE reports are intended to alleviate the difficult and overwhelming process of sifting through different curricular materials with the goal of helping schools and districts access high-quality, standards-aligned curricular materials.

Full Reports

*Full reports feature criterion-level, domain-level, and overall-level ratings; descriptive strengths and challenges; and information from the publisher, such as: information on product specifications and technological requirements, professional learning opportunities, and diversity of representation in their materials.

Overviews of Ratings

*A table featuring criterion-level ratings that help with side-by-side comparisons
