Evaluating the Quality of Instructional Products
EQuIP builds on a collaborative effort of education leaders from Massachusetts, New York and Rhode Island that Achieve facilitated. The outcome of that effort was the development of the “Tri-State Rubrics” and a quality review process designed to determine the quality and alignment of instructional lessons and units to the CCSS.The objectives are two-fold:
Increase the supply of high quality lessons and units aligned to the CSSS that are available to elementary, middle, and high school teachers as soon as possible; and, Build the capacity of educators to evaluate and improve the quality of instructional materials for use in their classrooms and schools.Overview and Objectives of EQuIPSlide6
EQuIP Rubrics
The EQuIP rubrics are designed to evaluate:Lessons
that include instructional activities and assessments aligned to the CCSS that may extend over a few class periods or daysUnits that include integrated and focused lessons aligned to the CCSS that extend over a longer period of timeThe rubric is NOT designed to evaluate a single task or activityThe intent is not to endorse a particular curriculum, product or template.Slide7

Benefits of the EQuIP Quality Review Process
Collaboration – The EQuIP Quality Review Process is a collegial process used to come to common understanding and agreement about the alignment and quality of instructional materials across classrooms, schools, districts and states. Consistency – When a set of common criteria are used, all students, regardless of zip code or classroom,
have instructional materials that set the same high standards and expectations. Equity – Educators across classrooms, districts, and states identify and use instructional materials that set the same rigorous standards for all students. Efficiency and Cost Effectiveness – Instead of each
teacher, school, or state developing all of its own instructional materials, states now have multiple partners among whom they can share resources.Innovation – As model lessons and units are reviewed, identified, and posted, educators share effective ways to organize and plan CCSS-aligned instruction.
