Evaluation for 1.2a
If designed to be static, materials include detailed lesson plans with learning objectives, teacher and student materials, lesson components with suggested timeframes, and assessment resources aligned with the TEKS and ELPS.
The materials generally include the TEKS aligned to the skill and objective for each lesson, listed on the bottom right of each lesson's slide presentation. TEKS alignment is inconsistent, with some lessons and assessments not aligned to the grade-level standard,sometimes involving skills beyond or below grade-level expectations.The materials provide suggested times for lesson components throughout each lesson. For example, the "Solve Results Unknown, Add To/Take From Problems," lesson is broken down with the following time stamps:Pre-Assessment:5 minutes;Authentic Connection:5 minutes;Explicit Instruction:30 minutes;Post-Assessment:5 minutes.Theunit, "Topic Bundle," "Aligned Resources," and "Teacher Resources" provide detailed lesson plans that include theskill,objective, "Connection to Prior Learning," "Skill Summary," and "Connection to Future Learning."

Another example of this within the materials is from the lesson "Interpret Equations as True or False," which includes "TeacherResources" and10 "AlignedResources," such asactivities, quick checks, and centers.Nearpod "Teacher Resources" materials do not include assessment resources aligned withELPS.
