The One About…
TRL Curriculum Evaluation Guidelines with Dr. Maria Murray and Kari Kurto
Here is a link to the Curriculum Evaluation Guidelines:

When reviewing curricula for Tier I instruction, it is essential to ensure they do not include instructional practices that are not aligned with the scientific evidence base of how children learn to read.
The Curriculum Evaluation Guidelines are designed to highlight any non-aligned practices, or
“red flags,” that may be present. Here is a landing page with more information on the Curriculum Navigation Reports:
https://www.thereadingleague.org/media/introducing-the-reading-leagues-curriculum-navigation-reports/ Each report provides an in-depth examination of each curriculum’s components based on evidence-aligned practices. One of the reports’ unique strengths is their emphasis on identifying ‘red flag’ practices—those that do not align with the scientific evidence base. These reports are the only ones that prioritize identifying practices that could prevent students from
developing skilled reading.
Maria S. Murray is the founder, CEO and President of The Reading League. A pioneer in the “science of reading” movement, she has been active in this field for more than 20 years. Prior
to founding The Reading League, Maria was an associate professor at SUNY Oswego where she
taught courses related to literacy assessment and intervention for 10 years.
