What tool can a teacher use to verify suspicions about a curriculum's effectiveness?

The teacher's observations from the classroom
Peer reviews of the curriculum
The grade book
The school's feedback surveys

The correct answer is: The grade book

While the grade book provides valuable quantitative data about student performance, the most effective way for a teacher to verify suspicions about a curriculum's effectiveness is through a combination of tools, where peer reviews of the curriculum play a significant role. Peer reviews offer insights from other educators who can assess the curriculum based on their own experiences and knowledge of best practices. They can provide a more objective analysis, highlighting strengths and weaknesses that a teacher might not notice solely through their day-to-day observations or student performance metrics. Classroom observations, while helpful, largely reflect the teacher's perspective and may not capture broader curriculum effectiveness insights. Feedback surveys can also be useful, but they depend on students and parents articulating their experience and may not provide a complete picture of curriculum efficacy. Using peer reviews alongside personal observations and assessments can lead to a more comprehensive understanding of how effectively a curriculum is facilitating student learning.
