Instructional Materials Evaluation Procedures

PURPOSE:

To update and prescribe the procedures governing the adoption of instructional materials for use by Florida school districts for the 2019-20 adoption and beyond.

SUMMARY:

The proposed rule updates the procedures governing the adoption of instructional materials for use by Florida school districts for the 2019-20 adoption and beyond. More specifically, the proposed amendments modify the incorporated document entitled, “Policies and Procedures Specifications for the Florida Instructional Materials Adoption” by specifying new criteria for K-5 English Language Arts (ELA) materials and by including a further explanation of the instructional materials rating system. Additionally, the incorporated document IM8, “Publisher Questionnaire,” seeks information about advanced placement, foreign language translations and access point correlations for instructional materials. The third incorporated document modified is IM7, the “Standards Alignment Form.” These proposed changes include requiring information about the alignment of ELA instructional materials.
