addresses the content, context, and rigor of the standard. STEMscopes

see that Learning List has given the curriculum its highest rating for
alignment,” said Vernon Johnson, president and CEO of Accelerate
Learning. “With this objective, independent review, educators can choose
instructional materials more effectively and efficiently, and have
greater confidence that they will address the knowledge and skills

Jackie Lain, president of Learning List. “Our detailed alignment reports
reveal where the material is aligned not only to the Performance

each PE. Our reviews show that this material provides teachers with
multiple opportunities to help students engage in science and think like
scientists.”
