1 Publisher Instructions. 1. In the header of this document, please fill in the program s identifying information. A basic program in mathematics for grade eight must address the standards for one of the following four disciplines or, in the alternative, it must be an integrated program that covers portions of several disciplines: Algebra I Geometry Algebra II Probability and Statistics In the header, please indicate the discipline covered in this program (from the preceding list) or indicate that it is an integrated program and note the disciplines it covers in part. 2. Displayed below are all of the content standards adopted by the California State Board of Education for the four disciplines listed above. Following each standard is a box for In this space, please provide information to help the reviewers determine the extent to which the standard is covered in this program. Succinct responses are encouraged and will be appreciated. The following questions are provided to help guide your responses. Is this standard directly addressed in the program? If so where? [If this standard is addressed many places in the program, please indicate the primary place or places where it is covered; an exhaustive list of citations is not necessary.] Is the program aligned with this standard? If so, please cite one or more references illustrating that alignment. [If this standard is directly addressed, it may be unnecessary to illustrate alignment separately.] Does the program contain any material contrary to this standard? If so, where? Is the contrary material incidental or significant? Please explain as necessary. Are there any other comments you wish to make concerning the program in relation to this standard? 3. If this an integrated mathematics program, you are required to provide the information specified above for all parts of the integrated series including those not submitted for adoption. Please distinguish publisher comments pertaining to non- submitted parts of the integrated series by placing those comments in italics. 4. If you find a standard that is not covered in your program, please put in the Publisher Comments box, along with a brief explanation. If this program addresses a single discipline, it should include coverage of essentially all the standards for that discipline. If this program is part of an integrated series, coverage of the standards in a given discipline will vary from level to level, but essentially all of the standards for the disciplines included in the series should be covered. If you find a significant number of the applicable standards are not covered in your program, be it for a single discipline or an integrated series, you should consider withdrawing the submission. If a standard is not applicable to your program, please put N/A in the Publisher Comments box, along with a brief explanation if necessary. 5. Please leave blank the boxes provided for These boxes have been included for the reviewers to keep their own notes as to whether the program s coverage of each applicable standard is exemplary, adequate, or inadequate, and why they have reached that conclusion. IMAP/CRP members will be guided by the following rubric: Exemplary coverage addresses the standard directly, providing substantial material for teaching and learning. Adequate coverage provides general alignment with the standard, no material fundamentally contrary to the standard, and sufficient material for teaching and learning.
2 Inadequate coverage reflects little or no alignment with the standard, inclusion of material that is fundamentally contrary to the standard, and/or insufficient material for teaching and learning. Recommendations for or against a program are generally to be based on coverage of the standards as a whole, not each individual standard. However, some individual standards may be determined to be particularly important in the IMAP/CRP deliberations process.
