Description

CARPs are the Nevada panels that "Evaluate and rate instructional materials submitted by publishers." Per Table 1, they include subject-matter experts, content-area and special education teachers, curriculum directors, technology specialists, and English language development experts. Panelists correlate content standards to materials, participate in training and rubric calibration, conduct independent reviews, and take part in full-group deliberations to reach a unified recommendation.
