The following list has been reviewed and vetted to determine if the curricular program meets or does not meet the requirements set forth in SB 127 (2022). The review committee was only able to dive into programs that were submitted for review. The committee plans to run another review in the spring to add more programs to this list. These programs were reviewed using the Science of Reading Evidence-Informed Core Criteria Checklist. In addition, intervention programs were also reviewed using Utah’s Critical Features of Tiered Literacy Interventions document. Please note, this is not an exhaustive list and curricular programs will continue to be added as they are reviewed.

This document provides a list of instructional resources aligned to content standards and assessments.

The resources housed here include the Virgin Islands Cultural Standards with the companion Kallaloo Framework to be utilized for lesson planning.

The Virgin Islands Cultural Standards and companion Kallaloo Framework are grounded in the history, language, traditions, and environment of the Virgin Islands so that teachers can create opportunities to link instruction to the everyday lives of students. The framework provides students with a strong sense of self-identity and charges students to understand the cultures of others. The rationale is that Virgin Islands students should be empathetic toward other cultures as well as be global citizens yet stand firm within their own Virgin Islands identity. Further, the Kallaloo Framework presents educators with the necessary tools to cultivate opportunities for students to play an active role in positively shaping Virgin Islands culture. The Framework provides an opportunity for educators to incorporate the Virgin Islands Cultural Standards, and, by extension, Virgin Islands History, in every classroom, in every subject area, in every school, every day.

This resource presents the Virgin Islands Standards of Achievement at a Glance in one folder on Google Docs. Here, you can access the VISA standards for one grade or several grades as Adobe Acrobat PDFs. The resource also provides all the standards for K-12 in one PDF.
