What criteria are used to deem science instructional materials as “high-quality”?

High-quality is defined as well-designed and well-crafted instructional materials reviewed and approved by independent, third-party experts (such as EdReports and Achieve) using widely agreed upon criteria. Each unit is being reviewed using the EQuIP Rubric by the Peer Review Panel.

All of the Middle School OpenSciEd units received a High Quality rating from Achieve with 16 of the 18 units being badged. To read the reports from the review of our middle and high school units, visit NextGenScience’s page. The Middle School curriculum also received an “All Green” rating from EdReports!
