explanation:

this program currently is reviewed as “no” for this criterion because although there is a list of text selections, there are no identified text complexity levels for qualitative or quantitative placement. while texts are arranged around historical themes and support building of knowledge based on philosophical assumptions of the time periods, there is no evidence of the use of anchor texts within each unit. since these materials received a “no” for this indicator, the current weakness will likely remain and should be addressed by adjusting or supplementing with stronger programs. text-dependent questions (non-negotiable) this program currently is reviewed as “no” for these criteria because at least 80% of all questions in the materials are not text-dependent questions as required by the indicator; the questions may ask students to display knowledge of concepts of themes, but the assessments do not consistently ask students to make connections with the texts within a unit. since these materials received a “no” for this indicator, the current weakness will likely remain and should be addressed by adjusting or supplementing with stronger programs
