This person evaluates textbooks like this:
Most of the assessments in this program are supplemental to the textbook and were not thoroughly reviewed. The text itself contains at least two pages of assessment activities for each chapter. These activities require recall of factual information. The teacher’s edition references the existence of performance assessments among the supplemental materials, but again, these were not reviewed. Evaluators did not find assessments that would help them gauge student progress toward the mastery of the standards; rather the assessments in the book tend to focus on isolated facts rather than upon building geographic skills.
