What is meant by High Frequency Words? Sight Words, irregular words, words most often seen in text? There is no point to teaching these words if they are decodable. The only point to explicit instruction is for irregular words that do not follow phonics rules. aka: Heart Words.

This may be inconsequential, but is there any way we can adjust the scale to either be 5pt or alter the wording? Going from "adequate" to "far above average" seems like going from a D+/C- to an A+. Just because I may think something is better than "adequate" doesn't mean I think it's "far above average."

Electronic Text
Texts are balanced and representative of the students of Akron

Culturally Authentic
Information is relevant to Akron Students

Electronic texts provide a balanced and accurate portrayal of various demographic and personal characteristics, such as gender, race/ethnicity, identity, geographic location, cultural norms, socioeconomic status, and intellectual and physical abilities.

This is repetitive. Perhaps combine the two from Culturally Authentic and remove the one from Electronic Text?

Culturally Authentic
Electronic texts include accurate facts; are authentically, culturally, and ethnically inclusive (contextually and temporally); use relatable language; and include diverse and balanced visual/pictorial representations and content.

Electronic texts include African American, Asian, and Latinx content including cultural experiences, history, and traditions through the use of stories, legends, and myths derived from a balance of primary and secondary sources.

Electronic texts integrate diversity across ethnic groups and genders, including relevant graphics, images, experiences, and names representing African American, Asian, and Latinx cultures.

These seem culture specific and repetitive. The first one keeps it general without selecting specific "groups." We know our students, and variety is the spice of life. We would select a text that would encompass a variety of writers. It would prevent biases from entering the selection process.

Electronic Teacher Edition

Information is relevant to Akron students.

This is located on the rubric several times. This question should only be posed once, contrary to its category location. I would imagine the answer wouldn't change after reviewing student and teacher textbooks.
