Source Verification in Ohio

Curriculum teams in Ohio use this guide to scope source verification across ELA, social studies, and library blocks. Help students confirm who produced information, when it was published, and what evidence supports the claim. Verify all requirements against your state department of education — this page supports planning, not legal compliance.

Pilot workflow

Pilot in one elementary and one secondary site, train facilitators on Orange-Coded Navigator's Guides, and collect student sourcing samples after nine weeks.
