Curriculum Assessment Tool, CHYA 2016
Designed for use in assessing curriculum and process compliance with CHYA
Compliance Assessment Tool (CAT)
California Healthy Youth Act
NOTES TO THE REVIEWER
a) This is a fillable PDF version of the CHYA Curriculum Assessment Tool (CAT).
b) There are two parts to this tool: Part 1: Curriculum/Instructional Material and Part 2: Policies and Procedures for Implementing CHYA.
c) This is Part 1 of the tool, which is intended for use in assessing compliance of a curriculum and supplemental materials; other instructional materials used for the purpose
of teaching sexual health education to students of a publicly funded high school or middle school.
d) In order to facilitate assessment of a curriculum’s compliance, CHYA provisions are divided into sections based on a (column 1) criterion that a certain provision focuses
on. The full language describing the requirement (column 2) is also provided with a reference to the Education Code. Questions regarding specific aspects of the
requirement or content of the curriculum/ instruction are provided to guide the reviewer in determining whether the criterion is met or not. Finally, a determination of
compliance, comments and recommendation (column 4) for any future action or adaptation may be made based on this assessment.
e)
The spaces provided in the column, Compliance Assessment, are rather limited. An efficient use of space would be to note evidence of compliance or non-compliance
by identifying the module and activity as such: M#A#. For example, to point out that evidence may be found in Module 1, Activity A Step 2 and Module 4 Activity B Step
3, you may simply write: M1A2; M4B3. Additional notes or evidence may be included in the “comments” section under column 4.
f) Under the column, Determination and Recommendations, you will identify whether you deem the curriculum/material in compliance with a particular requirement; and
whether it requires an adaptation to meet requirement. A space for additional comments is also provided. Use this comment section to add any other evidence of
compliance or non-compliance; strengths or weaknesses; or any other findings.
g) Depending on the way a curriculum is written modules may alternately be called session, section or lesson. Some CHYA requirements may be addressed in whole
modules or activities, while others may be evident in specific paragraphs or statements in the book. List the module & activity or the section and page number, as you
might see fit to efficiently direct another reviewer to such evidence.
