Trinity Education Group is revolutionizing the evaluation of K-12 instructional materials with the launch of EVA (Evaluation Assistant), an AI-powered platform set to launch on June 1, 2025. EVA enhances the review process for textbooks, teacher guides, and supplemental materials by providing state education agencies and publishers with unprecedented precision, efficiency, and depth in evaluating curriculum alignment and quality. In response to the increasing demand for high-quality, standards-aligned instructional materials (HQIM), EVA delivers an innovative, AI-driven solution to streamline and improve the traditional evaluation process. Combining advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning tools, EVA offers comprehensive content analysis tailored specifically to education needs.
Subtopics and Pointers:
1. AI-Powered Precision in Curriculum Evaluation
- EVA enables state education agencies to analyze entire textbooks, teacher editions, and supplemental materials with exceptional precision.
- The platform supports full-scale analysis, processing thousands of pages to ensure complete alignment with educational standards.
- EVA automates reviews using multiple HQIM rubrics, including established frameworks like EdReports and Achieve OER, or customized rubrics based on state-specific needs.
2. Pilot Success: South Carolina’s Adoption Process
- In Fall 2024, the South Carolina Department of Education successfully piloted EVA for its K-12 Math Textbook Adoption.
- The pilot highlighted EVA’s ability to save time and reduce costs while providing valuable insights to assess the quality of instructional materials before districts made selections.
- EVA’s efficiency in this pilot has set the stage for widespread adoption across other states and education agencies.
3. Features of EVA

4. A Breakthrough in AI-Driven Curriculum Review
- EVA represents a fundamental shift in curriculum evaluation, offering scalable analysis of large digital texts (including those over 1800 pages).
- Previously, such comprehensive reviews were impossible to execute at scale and required substantial human effort.
- By automating these processes, EVA reduces reviewer workload while enhancing the quality and precision of evaluations.
5. Tailored Versions for State Agencies and Publishers
- EVA will be available in customized versions for state education agencies focused on textbook adoption, as well as for publishers for content development, gap analysis, and quality assurance.
- The platform’s automation saves valuable time, improves evaluation accuracy, and provides key insights to guide decision-making in K-12 education.
EVA is set to transform the landscape of K-12 education by providing education agencies and publishers with an AI-driven solution for curriculum evaluation. Its ability to analyze instructional materials with unmatched precision and efficiency is a game-changer in ensuring high-quality, standards-aligned textbooks and resources. With its tailored versions and proven success in pilot projects, EVA is poised to set new industry standards for curriculum evaluation, providing the tools needed for data-informed, efficient decision-making in K-12 education.
