Summary:
|
The Middle School History-Social Science Adoption Committee began meeting Fall 2022 and included representatives from across the District. The team included teachers and administrators. Teachers worked in grade- alike teams as they went through the review process. Materials were available for review by the community from November 8-29, at the Willow Creek Center and feedback surveys were collected. After reviewing materials and presentations from a variety of vendors, using California Department of Education and Contra Costa County Office of Education evaluation tools, the Middle School Adoption Committee decided to pilot materials from McGraw-Hill and National Geographic. Each pilot lasted four weeks with training provided by the publishers prior to each pilot. At the end of the pilots, the teachers met in-person to review the data collected, community survey results, and compared materials to District and State criteria with consideration to our diverse district needs and to make a recommendation. The Middle School History-Social Science Adoption Committee are recommending an 8-year contract with McGraw-Hill for the Middle School courses. As well as the Spanish materials for the sixth-eighth grade Dual Language program at Holbrook. This contract would include online and printed materials, teacher professional development, and the materials are available in Spanish in support of emerging bilingual students.
