† Not applicable. Although the state shared examples of efforts to support implementation of aligned curricular and instructional materials, they are outside the scope of Achieve's survey; only states reporting responses to the actions specified in the table are represented. ¹ Includes materials the state provides for direct use in classrooms, such as model units, lessons, curricular maps, and graphic organizers. ² Includes rubrics or tools (e.g., alignment tools) that the state provides, which are often used by district leaders, principals and curriculum directors. ³ National totals reflect the number of "Yes" responses in each column.
