1 SPS Science Instructional Materials Adoption K-8 Review Criteria CATEGORY 1: STANDARDS ALIGNMENT WHY: WHAT: Educational excellence and equity for every student is Goal One of our district s Strategic Plan. Our academic program is grounded in standards-based curriculum, with strong, targeted instruction delivered by highly-qualified teachers to ensure that every student graduates ready for color, career, and life. SPS Department of Curriculum, Assessment, and Instruction website Our mission is to provide all SPS science classrooms with a common NGSS-aligned core scope and sequence that is engaging, authentic, culturally relevant, rigorous, and technology-based to be college and/or career ready. Our goal is that all our students will be scientifically literate. This is accomplished through a collaborative, interactive, rigorous science program responsive to the needs of diverse learners. SPS Science Department Mission Statement 4: Superior Evidence 3: Strong Evidence 2: Moderate Evidence 1: Minimal Evidence 0: No Evidence 1. Instructional resources introduce authentic, relevant, current, real-world phenomena that are experienced first-hand whenever possible, and systems that students can investigate, model, and explain using the targeted Disciplinary Core Ideas (DCIs) and Crosscutting Concepts (CCCs). 2. Instructional resources introduce real-world phenomena and systems that engage students in discourse for sense making. Students develop and use models where applicable to help them craft a final written explanation of the phenomena. 3. The science curriculum provides opportunities for students to collect evidence using informational texts, literature, simulations, and other media related to science and engineering. SPS Science Instructional Materials Review Criteria, Version Page 1 of 22
2 CATEGORY 1: STANDARDS ALIGNMENT 4. Provides grade-appropriate connection(s) to the Common Core State Standards in Mathematics and/or English Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science and Technical Subjects. 5. Instructional resources progressively build students abilities to meet all grade-level Performance Expectations (PEs) through a three-dimensional instructional sequence, requiring students to engage in two of the three dimensions of teaching and learning (SEPs, DCIs, and CCCs) in each activity. 6. Lessons selected for in-depth study are developed through their role in explaining selected phenomena, chosen to support students in building the knowledge and abilities needed to achieve proficiency in a bundle of PEs. 7. Each lesson builds on prior lessons by addressing questions raised in those lessons, cultivating new questions that build on what students figured out, or cultivating new questions from related phenomena, problems, and prior student experiences. SPS Science Instructional Materials Review Criteria, Version Page 2 of 22
3 CATEGORY 1: STANDARDS ALIGNMENT 8. The materials provide support for students to develop grade-level appropriate academic language and discipline-specific vocabulary through their use in context in classroom discourse around science phenomena (science talk), and through well-written and grade-level appropriate text resources. 9. Course descriptions are aligned to a specific progression of courses across each grade band so that students completing the course sequence can meet all grade band WSSLS PEs. The progression builds ideas in a planned sequence, so that each unit builds progressively on prior learning. The logic of the progression is described and explained in teacher resources. 10. Instructional materials are on a technology-based platform that supports growth of student digital literacy skills while addressing three-dimensional learning.

4 CATEGORY 2: ASSESSMENTS WHY: The Board of Directors of Seattle Public Schools believes that assessments are a critical component of our education system used to inform instruction through identification of student strengths, assessment of learning growth, and diagnosis of barriers, and areas of support. SPS School Board Policy # 2080 WHAT: Includes pre-, formative, summative, self-, and peer-assessment measures that assess threedimensional learning that provides data used to inform instruction. 4: Superior Evidence 3: Strong Evidence 2: Moderate Evidence 1: Minimal Evidence 0: No Evidence 1. Assessments in the instructional resources reflect the three-dimensional nature of the Washington State Science Learning Standards (WSSLS). Assessment tools measure what students know and are able to do, as defined by the Performance Expectations (PEs) in the WSSLS. Assessments stress performance tasks rather than rote memorization. Individual assessments engage students in at least two of the three dimensions of teaching and learning (SEPs, DCIs, and CCCs). 2. Entry-level assessments for each unit are provided to help teachers elicit students prior knowledge and preconceptions and gauge their facility for using the SEPs and CCCs. Information is provided to teachers to help them use the results of those assessments to guide instruction and to determine modifications for specific students or groups of students. 3. Teacher materials provide support to engage students in tasks that afford both learning and formative assessment opportunities at the same time and provide guidance to teachers on how to embed formative assessment activities in the broader learning activity. SPS Science Instructional Materials Review Criteria, Version Page 4 of 22
5 CATEGORY 2: ASSESSMENTS 4. Brief formative assessment tools and practices at key stages in the unit of instruction are designed to elicit current understandings and preconceptions and to provide evidence of students progress toward mastering the three-dimensional learning called for in the WSSLS. 5. Instructional materials must also provide teachers with strategies of how to address preconceptions during instruction. These strategies are to be differentiated for different age levels. 6. Assessments should yield information teachers can use in planning and modifying instruction to help all students meet or exceed the standards. 7. Teacher resources supply a differentiated path for diverse students to build toward the PEs of the WSSLS. In particular, formative assessment tasks are designed to support teachers in collecting and analyzing data about student conceptual understanding. SPS Science Instructional Materials Review Criteria, Version Page 5 of 22
6 CATEGORY 2: ASSESSMENTS 8. Summative assessments designed to provide valid, reliable and fair measures of students' progress and attainment of three-dimensional learning after a period of instruction (for example: at the end of a chapter or unit) should involve multi-component tasks including, but not limited to: hands-on or simulation-based performance tasks, open-ended constructed response problems, and scoring of portfolios of student work collected over the course of instruction. 9. Selected-response items, if used, should require analysis and reasoning to answer them, rather than simply memorized responses or restatement of facts. 10. Students progress toward meeting the three-dimensions of the WSSLS is assessed through both writing and performance tasks. Student written responses are consistent with the grade-level writing and mathematics requirements in the CCSS for ELA/Literacy and Mathematics. 11. Resources include student work expectations and analytical rubrics for scoring performance tasks and, where possible, examples of student work at each scoring level. Resources include an explanation of the use of rubrics by teachers and students to evaluate the progress of students models, projects, writing, and progression toward understanding. SPS Science Instructional Materials Review Criteria, Version Page 6 of 22
7 CATEGORY 2: ASSESSMENTS 12. Assessment tools include multiple measures of student performance as addressed in the assessment chapter in the WSSLS, including, but not limited to, engineering design; performance-based tasks; evidence-based arguments; revised models; computational simulations; and oral presentations. 13. Assessment tools include technology-based assessments, supported by scoring rubrics and, where possible, examples of student work at each scoring level.

17 CATEGORY 5: INSTRUCTIONAL PLANNING AND SUPPORT WHY: WHAT: [The District will] align instruction, mentoring, evaluation, and support to ensure each and every educator develops strong foundational teaching skills. SPS Formula for Success Educators must possess a repertoire of evidence-based instructional strategies in delivering the curriculum to develop talent, enhance learning, and provide students with the knowledge and skills to become independent, self-aware learners, and to give students the tools to contribute to a multicultural, diverse society. The curriculum, instructional strategies, and materials and resources must engage a variety of learners using culturally responsive practices. The National Association for Gifted Children website 4: Superior Evidence 3: Strong Evidence 2: Moderate Evidence 1: Minimal Evidence 0: No Evidence 1. The content is well-organized and presented in a manner that enables all teachers to efficiently deliver the essential knowledge and skills described in the WSSLS. 2. Resources include explanations to teachers regarding how the SEPs, DCIs, and CCCs work together to support students in making sense of phenomena and/or to design solutions to problems and build toward the PEs of the WSSLS. Teacher resources support understanding of how PEs are developed within units and across units throughout a year. 3. Resources encourage the meaningful use of technologies (such as video clips or computer simulations) to investigate phenomena that cannot be directly experienced in the classroom, as well as tools used to record, display, and analyze data. Guidance is also provided to teachers on how science instruction may be improved by the effective use of technology and multimedia literacy skills. SPS Science Instructional Materials Review Criteria, Version Page 17 of 22
18 CATEGORY 5: INSTRUCTIONAL PLANNING AND SUPPORT 4. Resources suggest appropriate engineering design tasks in varied contexts as a path to understanding and applying the science ideas being learned. Where appropriate, resources suggest computational tools and software to support the design process and allow students to model or simulate their designed products. 5. Teacher resources provide background knowledge related to the scientific content in each lesson to support teachers without strong pre-existing knowledge or experience with the subject matter, including how the three dimensions are integrated into units and lessons. 6. Instructional objectives for three-dimensional learning are explicitly stated, clearly identifiable, and in student-friendly language in the teacher resources. Student resources provide experiences that clearly build to the development of learning goals without explicitly stating those goals prior to the instruction. 7. The teacher resources provide an estimated instructional time for each activity, lesson, chapter, and unit which allows for student engagement in the SEPs and engineering design projects. SPS Science Instructional Materials Review Criteria, Version Page 18 of 22

Teacher resources include a planning guide describing the relationships between the components of the program and how to use all the components to meet all of the WSSLS. 10. Instructional resources should include a list of consumable and non-consumable equipment and materials required for each lesson, identification of any possible allergy concerns, and any relevant MSDS sheets. 11. Electronic learning resources, including technology-based assessments, support instruction that is connected explicitly to the WSSLS, have a well-designed user interface, provide technical support, and include suggestions for appropriate and differentiated use. The resources include a backup, analog-based plan in case of network or equipment issues. SPS Science Instructional Materials Review Criteria, Version Page 19 of 22
20 CATEGORY 5: INSTRUCTIONAL PLANNING AND SUPPORT 12. Teacher resources discuss and identify preconceptions typical at a grade band (such as incomplete explanations based on everyday experiences or vernacular conflicts between the everyday use of a term and the meaning of the term in a scientific context) and provide guidance to help students build more accurate understandings of the scientific concept or process. 13. The teacher resources provide guidance and support for engaging students in collaborative conversations using grade level appropriate academic vocabulary for scientific discourse. 14. Instructional materials provide an intentional balance of a wide variety of activities within a unit (e.g. simulations, hands-on activities, readings, discourse, kinesthetic activities, etc.) 15.
