Requesting a Curriculum Review

*Before requesting a curriculum review, please check the list of curricula reviewed and approved by CAE: https://cliengage.atlassian.net/wiki/x/MoAKIg

If the curriculum of interest is not on the CAE Reaviewed and Approved Curricula list or on the Texas Education Agency (TEA) list of approved pre-k curricula, please request a curriculum review via the CAE Support portal: https://cliengage.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/37

When completing your ticket:

- Label ticket Curriculum Review Request: Program Name

- Include your contact information: first and last name, and position.

- Include the program’s information: name, CCR license number, address, email, and phone number.

- Include information about the curriculum: type of curriculum (e.g., third party, proprietary), age group addressed, curriculum title, publisher, year of publication, and vendor website.

- Provide a PDF copy of the curriculum. If the curriculum is available online only, provide CAE with a temporary access code or submit a PDF version of downloaded lessons.

What happens next?

- A CAE manager designated as the Curriculum Reviewer will evaluate third-party and proprietary curricula.

- The Reviewer will compare the submitted curriculum against CAE’s lists of previously reviewed curricula and the Texas Education Agency (TEA) list of approved pre-k curricula.

- If the curriculum is not on the lists of approved curricula, the reviewer will use the appropriate TRS curriculum checklist to determine if the curriculum meets the accepted standards of the P-PM-03 Curriculum.

- The reviewer will communicate the curriculum review decision within 5 business days.

Note: For emergent curricula, the program will provide the CAE assessor completed their assessment with four (4) lessons if only one age group is served OR two (2) lessons per age group if multiple groups are served. Assessors will determine if the emergent or theme-based curriculum aligns with early learning guidelines or standards and utilize that information to determine if the lessons meet the accepted standards of P-PM-03 Curriculum.
