Use this checklist to review curriculum materials across your whole program rather than one classroom at a time. It helps you look for alignment to grade-level standards, intentional use of ASL and English, visual accessibility, materials that can be differentiated for varied learners, and authentic representation of Deaf culture and Deaf perspectives. A set of program-level reflection questions helps you name gaps in rigor, access, or representation and decide what to adapt, replace, or strengthen. Use it to ensure materials across the school reflect a bilingual vision grounded in Deaf culture and perspectives.
