Why: According to Board Policy IFA-Instructional Media, the District must provide access to instructional resources including, but not limited to, textbooks and supplemental materials. The BOE policy on Instructional Media requires the presentation of recommendations for textbook adoption to the Board of Education.
Details: The Division of Curriculum and Instruction began the 2021-2022 instructional resources review process in May 2022 and culminated the first phase in June 2022. The Instructional Resources Review Committee was comprised of a diverse group of elementary, middle, and high school music teachers with varied years of teaching experience and degrees; teachers represented general music, orchestra, band, chorus, and music appreciation courses.
Following state and local guidelines and procedures, the committee members:
Evaluated instructional resources available in digital, print, and blended formats;
Completed evaluation forms on all instructional materials using content-specific rubrics;
Determined leading contenders for parents/guardians, teachers, students, and citizens to examine and evaluate during the public review period;
Participated in vendor presentations conducted by the leading contenders; and
Determined final selections and submitted the recommended resources for adoption consideration.
Stakeholders were invited to review instructional resources and ancillary materials and provide input for the committee members’ consideration during the public review held June 9-11, 2022. Throughout this evaluation and review period, careful attention was given to ensure that selected instructional resources and supplemental materials will ensure the equity and access to support the full and rigorous implementation of the DCSD curriculum at all grade levels among the school district’s diverse student population.
Financial impact: The recommendations are for the adoption of the aforementioned instructional resources only and not for purchase at this time.
