Individual Reviewer Roles and Responsibilities

Let's review the key responsibilities and expectations for Individual Reviewers throughout the review process.

Individual Reviewer Expectations

Review and vote on standards alignment citations for assigned programs
Create new or corrected citations when alignment is found for rejected breakouts
Report all factual errors discovered during the review
Provide optional feedback to publishers
Continue evaluating materials and creating citations throughout the review, including during the Quality Review

On the individual side, your core task is reviewing and voting on citations for your assigned programs.

When a breakout is rejected—meaning the materials don't yet demonstrate alignment—you continue looking for evidence of alignment and create new citations when you find it. This happens during the initial review in May through early June and continues even during the Quality Review if alignment evidence surfaces for previously rejected breakouts.

You're also responsible for reporting any factual errors you find and, optionally, providing feedback to publishers—Factual errors will be covered in detail in Module 4 of this course.
