Second-grade educator review

Human review pending. Please review these activities before treating the coverage or evidence rule as suitable for a learner.

800 supplemental activities; coverage is partial. Completion levels are game progress, not standards mastery.

Four first-try independent successes in five varied checks over two sessions. Product hypothesis, not an Idaho cutoff. Review separately for each skill; never automatically grade creative work or real-world behavior.

  1. Check the task, answer or open response, and its intended skill against the linked standard.
  2. Check accessibility and the difference between supported work, an independent check, and adult observation.
  3. Review whether five varied checks over two sessions is a useful reporting rule for this skill. It is not a mastery decision.
  4. In For grown-ups, open the skill and record your educator pilot review. Record actual observations separately. Coverage review of this release remains pending until an educator reviews the full packet.
