Review Materials by Subject (to come in Fall 2025)

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 for the materials being considered during the 25-26 school will be provided on this page (and through multiple communication channels) in early Fall, 2025. The form shown below will open to the public when the review period is open.

Submit your feedback through the online form

Once the selection committees complete their work in late January, 2025, their recommendations for materials to adopt for each of the above courses will be forwarded to the Curriculum and Standards Committee. That committee will review the recommendations and, at their March 19, 2025 meeting. At this same meeting, they will determine whether they approve the recommendations and forward their approved recommendations to the Board. The San Juan Unified School District Board will have the new adoptions as a discussion item at their April 8, 2025 meeting and then the recommendations were approved at their April 22, 2025 meeting. In the next section below, you can see a link to view the current list of materials approved by the Board of Education. This list is updated each year with the materials that are newly adopted by the Board.
