AI Summary
This bill requires the Michigan Department of Education to publish a comprehensive list of recommended curriculum and assessment companies by April 1, 2026, to help school districts, intermediate school districts, and public school academies make informed educational resource choices. The recommended curriculum companies must meet specific criteria, including alignment with state academic standards, evidence of effectiveness through independent research, strategies for differentiating instruction and ensuring accessibility for students with disabilities, robust professional development resources, availability in multiple formats, platform compatibility, customization options, transparent pricing, high-quality and unbiased content, and comprehensive customer support. The department must also ensure that recommended assessment companies provide a variety of diagnostic, formative, and summative assessments that meet state and federal requirements. Importantly, while the department will provide this recommended list, school districts are not obligated to use these specific curriculum or assessment companies. The list will be updated annually, with the first update due by April 1, 2027, to ensure ongoing relevance and quality of educational resources.
