Textbook and Curriculum Adoptions Update

Board Policy

• BP 6161.1 Instruction
• The Board shall select instructional materials for use in

Grades K-8 that have been approved by the State Board of Education (SBE) or have otherwise been determined to be aligned with the State academic content standards adopted pursuant to Education Code 60605 or the Common Core Standards adopted pursuant to Education Code 60605.8. (Education Code 60200, 60210)

• The Board's priority in the selection of instructional

materials is to ensure that all students are provided with standards-aligned instructional materials in the core curriculum areas of English/Language Arts, Mathematics, Science and History/Social Science.

Core Content

ELA

Math

• Elementary (TK-5)

adopted Houghton Mifflin Harcourt’s Expressions in 2017

• Secondary is currently on

hold until the new framework is released (existing materials date back to 2008 and 2015)

Core Content

Science

• With the new Next

Generation Science Standards, a full TK-12 adoption is needed

• Conversations were held

at both Oak and TCHS to determine model

• Existing materials date

back to 1999, 2004-2007

Social Studies

• With the new framework

due to be released in 2023, it is recommended to wait

• Existing materials date

back to 2006 for TK-8 and 2008-2012 for 9-12

Online Curriculum

• APEX is our current online curriculum provider for

students that may qualify due to unique circumstances such as:

• Independent Study
• Home Hospital for some students
• DDSLC
• Credit Recovery
• Digital curriculum in an online environment taught by

NON-TCUSD teachers to support the needs of identified students

Online Curriculum Vendor Fair

• Provide a transparent process for vendor selection
• Explore options to use TCUSD teachers and control

content

• Explore independent and blended learning

environments

• Provide access to courses in a flexible format
• Compliance with PE and independent study

requirements

Technology

• Instructional materials are no longer just based on a

textbook

• Additional content and resources included in online

components

• Some publishers provide a hybrid selection of both

print and digital, while others have gone completely digital

• As we move forward with adoptions, technology costs

must be factored in
