Curriculum Teacher Checklist

Use this checklist as you choose and adapt curriculum materials so they stay aligned to grade-level standards, accessible, and responsive to deaf and hard of hearing learners. It prompts you to check that materials keep expectations high, support both ASL and English, are visually clear and easy to navigate, can be adjusted for a range of learners, and portray Deaf people and the Deaf community with strength and dignity. Closing reflection questions ask whether you have kept rigor intact and represented ASL and Deaf culture well. Use it during planning and reflection to strengthen the materials students actually work with.
