Why: According to Board Policy IFA-Instructional Materials and Content, the District must provide access to instructional resources including, but not limited to, textbooks and supplemental materials. Board Policy IFA requires the presentation of recommendations for textbook adoption to the Board of Education.
The DeKalb County School District (DCSD) is seeking to purchase K-12 music instructional and supplemental resources that were approved by the Board of Education at the April 17, 2023 meeting. Through the curriculum adoption process, DCSD aims to advance the mission, vision, and values by (a) improving access to meaningful content, (b) increasing awareness of sound instructional practices, (c) providing technological assets that promote creativity, connections, and innovation, and (d) engaging students in rigorous activities/assessments. The goal of the adoption is to provide up-to-date, research-based, relevant, and appropriate Music instructional resources that effectively support teaching and learning and offer greater access to relevant print and/or digital resources.
Details: The Division of Curriculum and Instruction began the 2021-2022 instructional resources review process in January 2022 and culminated the first phase in February 2022. The Instructional Resources Review Committee was comprised of a diverse group of elementary, middle, and high school teachers with varied years of teaching experience and degrees representing general music, chorus, band, orchestra, special education, gifted and English Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL). During the April 17, 2023, DeKalb County School District Board Meeting, the Board of Education approved the adoption of the following instructional resources including digital and print resources from the identified vendors to support K-12 Music:
