Student analysis suggests limitation of analysis & a singular presentation mode (literature only- no podcasts, poetry, opinion pieces). I'd like to take a closer look to see if this is isolated the unit or lesson she reviewed or if this is a gap in the content.

The two curriculums were scored very similarly by all evaluators.

Finding balance between "good" literature and "representative" literature.

Another item brought in the 6th grade review - "Content with African American stories are typically set in the past (Civil Rights, Great Depression, 1940's) and their roles are protesters/civil rights leaders and athletes. What about current times and roles people of color hold today?"

Study Sync did not score as well on analysis, "The materials encourage students to listen, think, illustrate, speak, read and write"

What are the varied learning strategies in each curriculum?  Into Lit received a very low score from one evaluator, but not the others.

There seems to be an outlier in the "perspectives" category with Into Lit.  That category didn't seem concerning for the other evaluators, although she has reasonable evidence listed.  Hmm...

People from LGBTQ+ backgrounds are in our communities at all levels. They should be represented in our literature.

I heard concerns from the evaluators that some racial stereotypes may be perpetuated.

For instance, there was criticism for the curricula because Lovecraft was included, and he was an antisemite...but then again, so was Martin Luther... How do we deal with problematic histories of authors, or controversial texts?

But the parent seems to be a tough grader. It seems like the student Maya has interesting insights.

StudySync seems to be the more traditional bet, and focuses more on traditional stories.
Into Lit seems to be a bit more engaging and relevant because the stories are a bit more current.

The lowest scores come from an excellent perspective...are we too white in our thinking? Did we miss something?

I was concerned that the scores were high for critical analysis, even when the scores for atypical roles, diverse roles, or presence of a variety of culture were low. Analysis requiring background and connection.

I think this is an interesting point, and it kind of begs the question; when is it appropriate for kids to have human sexuality as a key characteristic in their literature that they're exposed to in school? However, the lack of people with disabilities perspective is a key drawback.

3/4 evaluators scored Study Sync higher (and the 4th evaluator only had a 1 point difference).

StudySync had higher scores in all evaluations, although not by much.

I noticed that there was one participant who looked only at one story while, according to the rubric, others looked at the curriculum as a whole. How was this activity calibrated?

I am concerned with the scores for stereotypical roles.  The 6th grade one in particular is worrying. This line in particular =- "However, it's concerning that stories with POC may send messages to White students that are unintentional."

The evaluator scored both of the curriculum with high/mostly marks.  It looks like both would provide diverse and fair materials.

# data[].attributes.body
The only difference in the evaluation of the two curricula for 6th grade was that Into Lit "sometimes" celebrated contributions of diverse groups while StudySync "rarely" did.

# data[].attributes.body
The evaluator I reviewed scored each option similarly, with "high" marks.  I think both options are good choices for kids, which makes this decision hard! (This could be a square or a triangle, really...)

# data[].attributes.body
The evaluator said that both curriculums usually depicted women, people of color and people with disabilities in stereotypical roles. I'd like to look at some examples

# data[].attributes.body
The 6th grade evaluator gave StudySync and Into Lit very similar scores. That is what I would expect.
