In this space, please provide information to help thereviewers determine the extent to which the standard is covered in this program. Succinct responses are encouraged andwill 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 theprogram, please indicate the primary place or places where it is covered; an exhaustive list of citations is notnecessary.]

• Is the program aligned with this standard? If so, please cite one or more references illustrating that alignment. [Ifthis 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 incidentalor significant? Please explain as necessary.

• Are there any other comments you wish to make concerning the program in relation to this standard?

3. If you find a standard that is not covered in your program, please put “N/C” in the Publisher Comments space,along with a brief explanation. If you find a significant number of standards are not covered in your program, you shouldconsider withdrawing it as a basic program.

4. Please leave blank the boxes provided for IMAP/CRP Notes. These boxes have been included for the reviewers tokeep their own notes as to whether the program’s coverage of a standard is exemplary, adequate, or inadequate, and whythey 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 thestandard, and sufficient material for teaching and learning.

• Inadequate coverage reflects little or no alignment with the standard, inclusion of material that is fundamentallycontrary 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 eachindividual standard. However, some individual standards may be determined to be particularly important in the IMAP/CRPdeliberations process.
