Grade Twelve (Information)ELA/ELD SMC Co-Chair Galvan called the meeting of the ELA/ELD Subject Matter Committee (ELA/ELD SMC) to order and asked Cynthia Gunderson, acting administrator of the Curriculum Frameworks Unit, to provide an update on the status of the ELA/ELD Framework. Cynthia provided information on upcoming Framework Launch events, as well as supplemental resources currently under development.

B. Report on the 2015 ELA/ELD Adoption of K–8 Instructional Materials (Information)ELA/ELD SMC Co-Chair Wild continued the meeting on the next item on instructional materials and proceeded to provide a brief report that included a review of the process that would be followed during discussion, the hearing for public comment, and then voting by the SMC members on the recommendations contained in the IMR/CRE Reports of Findings. During the course of the report, SMC Co-Chair Wild asked if any Commissioners wished to remove any programs from the list of programs on the Consent List. IQC Chair Isken requested that The College Board–SpringBoard’s Grade 6 materials from their submission for Grades 6–8 (Program 1 Basic ELA) and from their submission for





Grades 6–8 (Program 2 Basic ELA/ELD) be removed from the consent list pending discussion of issues raised by public comments received by the August 20, 2015, deadline. The comments asserted that the materials for Grade 6 did not address all the criteria required for adoption as outlined in the 2014 ELA/ELD Adoption Category 1 of the Criteria for Evaluating Instructional Materials for Kindergarten Through Grade Eight (Criteria) – specifically Category 1, Criterion 22d. The SMC Members held a brief discussion of the issues and then suspended that discussion pending the input from publisher representatives during the public hearing.

C. Public Hearing on the Submissions for the 2015 ELA/ELD Adoption of K–8 Instructional Materials (Time Certain – 11 a.m.)At the completion of the report and initial discussion, ELA/ELD SMC Co-Chair Wild proceeded to conduct the public hearing during which the SMC received comment from Douglas Waugh, Senior Director of Product Development, for The College Board–SpringBoard, and Lori O’Dea, Executive Director of Content Development, for The College Board–SpringBoard. The representatives addressed the concerns of the SMC members and presented new evidence that they believed demonstrated Criterion 22d was met.

D. Recommendations to the Full Commission on the Submissions for the 2015 ELA/ELD Adoption of K–8 Instructional Materials (Action)1. Proposed Consent List of Instructional Materials Programs (Recommended in

the Reports of Findings of the Review Panels)ELA/ELD SMC Co-Chair Wild initiated a discussion of the information received during the public hearing. The SMC members discussed the merits of the evidence and comments received, asked additional questions of the representatives (who were asked to return to the podium), and engaged in further discussion. The ELA/ELD SMC Co-Chair concluded the SMC was ready to take action on the materials on consent and action on the two programs that were not recommended.

ACTION: ELA/ELD SMC Co-Chair Wild called for a motion to recommend the programs on the consent list, including The College Board–SpringBoard’s submission for Grades 7–8 (Program 1 Basic ELA) and The College Board–SpringBoard’s submission for Grades 7–8 (Program 2 Basic ELA/ELD), to the full Commission. Commissioner Isken made the motion. Commissioner Galvan seconded the motion. There was no further discussion or public comment. The motion was approved by a unanimous vote of the SMC members present (8-0). In addition to the seven ELA/ELD SMC members present, Commission Chair Isken participated in the vote.

D. Recommendations to the Full Commission on the Submissions for the 2015 ELA/ELD Adoption of K–8 Instructional Materials (Action)1. Public Comment

ELA/ELD SMC Co-Chair Wild opened the meeting with an invitation to the representatives from The College Board–SpringBoard to address the issues left unaddressed from the previous day. Douglas Waugh, Senior Director of Product Development, began by addressing the committee’s concerns regarding Category 1, Criterion 22d – specifically the question of where their program provides a set of





materials/tools for teachers to provide differentiated instruction, specifically for foundational skills, as called for in Category 1, Criterion 22d.

Lori O’Dea, Executive Director of Content Development for The College Board–SpringBoard, followed Mr. Waugh and provided a more detailed explication of the evidence submitted that the representatives believed addressed the committee’s concerns. The ELA/ELD SMC members, facilitated by ELA/ELD SMC Co-Chair Wild, engaged in an extensive discussion of the evidence, in light of the specific requirements of Criterion 22d. During the discussion, the members also expanded their deliberations to include concerns about whether the materials also did not address the requirements outlined in Criterion 22b. The SMC’s assertion that the Grade 6 materials did not meet these two criteria was contrary to the recommendations made in the review panel’s Report of Findings for both programs.
