How to Order

We believe all schools and districts deserve access to the highest quality curriculum. That's why our Language Arts curricula are open educational resources (OER) and are freely accessible on our website.

We also partner with providers who can deliver the curriculum in different formats, including print and digital.

Interim Assessments

CenterPoint Education Solutions has designed a web-based interim assessment aligned to the EL Education K-8 ELA Curriculum. Schools and districts can now use interim assessments that match the scope and sequence of the K-8 Language Arts curriculum, the depth and rigor of the modules, and the knowledge and skills in the underlying standards. These interims are:

  • Complementary to the existing formative assessments embedded in our curriculum; 

  • Supported on a variety of digital platforms;

  • Can be administered within a class period or across multiple days;

The K-5 assessments are available for spring 2020, grades 6-8 (second edition) interims will be available for 2020-2021 school year. Schools and districts interested in the EL Education K-8 Language Arts curriculum aligned assessments can contact CenterPoint to schedule a demo or visit CenterPoint Education Solutions to learn more.
