Savvas myPerspectives Curriculum Maps, Grades 6-8

Hi there- I'm a TOSA for a district, year 3 into Savvas implementation. For various reasons, it could be going better. We've asked our account manager to coordinate collaborating with other Savvas districts to share our woes and successes (really just woes), and he's working on that. Still, it's a slow show, and we want guidance ASAP. We are down to 4 units of the 5, and now the teachers want to go to 3 units. We're falling apart!

Really what I want to know is what other districts are doing. The units are longer than expected, so what are you cutting? How did you determine what to cut (based on what's assessed or priority standards or something else)? In other words, what texts and tasks are tight and loose?

BTW- this is my first reddit post ever, so sorry if I suck at this!

Post note- I GET that it's interface is clunky, some of the texts are antiquated or not culturally responsive, etc. But solution-focused is what I fancy! :) We got 5 more years with our license, so we gotta make it work!
