Designing and Using Screening Criteria to Narrow Instructional Materials

Use screening criteria to efficiently narrow instructional materials options and focus on the most viable programs.

By applying non-negotiables and priority criteria, teams can eliminate misaligned options, focus on the most viable programs, and support more efficient and informed decision-making.
