Background: In alignment with Administrative Policy 7.26 on Textbooks/Instructional Materials Adoption, evaluation committees were established following the Board’s October 26, 2023, decision to initiate selection studies in specific subject areas. These committees, with the goal of improving mathematics achievement for all students, conducted extensive research and recommended the following materials for use during the 2024-2025 school year:
Kindergarten - Grade 5: i-Ready Classroom Mathematics 2024 (English and Spanish)
Kindergarten - Grade 8 Technology Component: ST Math (not language-specific)
Grades 6-8: Illustrative Mathematics (English and Spanish)
Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II: Illustrative Mathematics (English and Spanish)
AP Statistics: Bock, Stats: Modeling the World, 6e AP Edition (English)
Pre-Calculus: Upgrade to the newest edition of Precalculus Graphical, Numerical, Algebraic - 10th Edition
AP Calculus: Demana, Calculus: Graphical, Numerical, Algebraic, 6e AP Edition (English)
On June 27, 2024, the Board authorized the Administration to approve the selection of textbooks and instructional materials for the 2024-2025 school year. Implementation strategies were initiated immediately, focusing on:
Ensuring equitable access to high-quality materials through purchasing, ordering, and distribution.
Developing and launching ongoing, curriculum-aligned professional learning and job-embedded coaching.
Creating structures for collecting and analyzing implementation data to monitor progress and refine strategies as needed.
This report provides an update on the adoption process, outlines plans for improving mathematics achievement, describes methods for measuring progress for both teachers and students, and explains how meaningful progress is being assessed.
