materials do, or the curriculum may emphasize standards for which there is insufficient content in your materials.
The goal of the curriculum alignment exercise should not be to try to force each material to cover all of the standards in the curriculum. Rather, the goal should be to identify where gaps exist in your materials when examined through the lens of the district curriculum. Those gaps do not mean that your materials are weak; they simply identify where additional resources or instructional guidance must be used to supplement your existing materials in order to fulfill the mandates of the district curriculum. If purchasing new materials is necessary, verify that the new material(s) is/are aligned to the gaps in your district’s curriculum before you buy them.
