As part of the process our selection committees use to determine which materials to recommend for adoption, we are seeking the participation of students, families/caregivers, and staff in materials review committees for all of the materials being considered.

For all committees, the application window was open Feb. 8-March 1, 2024 and all who applied were notified of their status on or before March 8, 2024. If you missed the window, information about how you can still view the materials and provide input will be shared at the beginning of the Fall semester.

 

Review Materials by Subject

In-person and Online Review Opportunities for Materials Being Considered During the 24-25 School Year

We will offer in-person  and, when available, online review opportunities of the materials being considered for adoption during the 2024-2025 school. For in-person review, there will be multiple dates and locations available. When the dates and locations for in-person review during Fall 2024 have been determined, this section will be updated.

For online review, the "Review Materials by Subject" table (above on this page) by Oct. 1, will be fully updated with access information to view the materials online. Online (and in-person) review will be available from October 1 to December 18, 2024.

You can also review the materials in-person in the Professional Learning and Curriculum Innovation Office. Please make arrangements by contacting our clerk, Loretta Naas at loretta.naas@sanjuan.edu. 

Guidance for reviewing materials

As you begin to review materials, it may help to focus on one aspect of the materials and then compare that aspect across all of the materials being considered for that course.

For example, you might decide you want to focus on student practice activities in the materials. You can look at the practice activities in one set of materials and then compare that to the activities provided by the other set of materials.

Another approach might be to look at the visuals in one set of materials and then compare those to the visuals used to illustrate concepts and information in the other set of materials being considered for that course.

Or you might decide to look at a specific topic of the course and compare how the two sets of materials introduce and practice that topic. It may be helpful to examine the table of contents for each set of materials in order to identify the topic or topics that are present in the both sets of materials and that you would like to focus on or compare in your review. 

Courses for which materials are being considered are in the table below. 

After reviewing, please submit your feedback

Whether you join us in person or review online, your feedback is important. In order to collect input from our community to inform the selection process, all who review materials are asked to complete the form below so that we can share your input with the selection committee. Please fill out one form for each set of materials you review. Please complete the form each time you review materials.

The deadline to provide input is December 18, 2024.

Update on 23-24 Materials adoptions

Selection committees have completed their work and their recommendations are being forwarded to the Curriculum and Standards Committee. That committee reviewed the recommendations and, at their March 20, 2024 meeting, approved the recommendations and forwarded them to the Board. The San Juan Unified School District Board had the adoptions as a discussion item at their April 9, 2024 meeting and then the recommendations were approved at their April 23, 2024 meeting. In the next section below, you can see a link to view the current list of materials approved by the Board of Education.
