How Materials Are Selected
The Clearinghouse uses the Educational Materials Review Checklist as a guide in the selection of materials to be included in the database. Although we review the materials for accuracy, completeness and
appropriateness for educational use, inclusion in the database does not constitute endorsement of the materials. Implied endorsement by Jump$tart may not be used in any way to advertise the materials
