Does the entire PECAT need to be completed?
No. You can determine which items in the PECAT are useful and important to include in your curriculum analysis and development or selection process and how you want to use PECAT items in your review process. Not all sections may apply to the curriculum being reviewed. For example, if the curriculum being reviewed is developed for students in elementary school (grades K5) then the content and student assessment analysis forms specific to only those grade levels will be used. If the curriculum being analyzed is not being considered for purchase, the affordability analysis may not be applicable. Remember, the review of curricula should be consistent. You should use the same process and PECAT items in the review of all curricula under consideration.
