(CRP). IMAP is composed primarily of classroom teachers (but also includes other<br />
participants, such as administrators, curriculum specialists, university faculty, and<br />
parents) who evaluate materials according to all categories of the criteria. CRP is<br />
composed of subject-matter experts who review materials according to the content<br />
criteria and ensure that the materials are accurate, aligned with SBE-adopted<br />
content standards or curriculum frameworks, and based on current and confirmed<br />
research. CRP members review only those materials or parts of them that pertain<br />
to their area of expertise. CRP members work with IMAP.<br />
Both panels receive training on the SBE-adopted criteria and individually review<br />
submitted programs. CRP and IMAP members prepare a joint report of findings and<br />
formulate a recommendation on each submission. The IMAP/CRP recommendations<br />
are forwarded to the Curriculum Commission. Commissioners consider the report of<br />
findings and also conduct their own individual and independent review of the submitted<br />
programs. The commission then develops a written report containing its<br />
recommendation on each submission, which is forwarded to the SBE for action.<br />
The SBE considers the recommendations, related documents, and public comments<br />
prior to adopting or not adopting each submission. The commission’s report is modified<br />
as necessary to reflect the SBE’s action, and the final document is widely distributed<br />
and posted on the Internet.<br />
Standards Maps for Grades Nine Through Twelve<br />
Standards map templates were developed so that school districts can determine the<br />
extent to which instructional materials, or a combination of instructional materials, for<br />
students in grades nine through twelve (9–12) align with the content standards adopted<br />
by the SBE. Publishers are invited to include completed standards maps with materials<br />
offered for sale in the four core content areas in grades 9–12, citing where their<br />
materials align with the content standards. The standards maps are also a tool for local<br />
educational agencies to use when evaluating instructional materials for alignment with<br />
content standards, as the local school boards must certify that materials are aligned<br />
with the California content standards. Copies of the standards maps are located on the<br />
Standards Maps Templates Web site at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ci/cr/cf/gr912stmap.asp.<br />
