The pages are appealing but crowded. One evaluator noted that this curriculum will be most successful for those who like writing and reading activities. Life skills are clearly identified, but not always defined or evaluated. The observation is that they were assigned after the activities were written. This could be a potential weakness.
Sensitivity needs to be highlighted in the artwork and layout.
Some terminology, especially relating to family types were not of the current thought and tended to be very white middle class. Inconsistent terminology of child and student may be seen as not sensitive. Overall, the curriculum would not be identifiable to limited income minority groups or those with different abilities. Minor changes could repair this concern. Research based information was used, but limited reference to the important research done outside of the Extension.
