Brief overview of the current instructional materials committee review:

• State-adopted instructional materials for ELA/ELD programs at grades K-8 were requested from the publishers for committee review.
• Teachers, administrators, parents, community members, and central office curriculum staff were invited to participate in the review process and committees were developed in November/December of 2019. Classroom teachers are the only voting committee members when it comes to recommending a program for board approval.
• A scoring rubric was developed by the committee chairs and discussed with each committee member at the preliminary meeting.
• 30 minute publisher presentations were presented to each committee on December 19.
• Following presentations, committee members met, determined next steps in the process, and were provided instructional materials for independent review.
• Each voting member will submit their scoring rubric to the committee chairs by January 28^th and the data will be compiled prior to the final selection meeting scheduled for January 30.
• The committees will reconvene as a whole on January 30 to review the scoring rubrics, continue discussion on the programs being considered for adoption, and come to consensus on a final selection for recommendation to the Board for adoption.

The following state-adopted programs are being reviewed by committee.
