    K-8, pursuant to California Education Code (EC)
    sections 60200-60206.

    with the Publishers Invitation to Submit, a
    document that contains all of the regulations and
    requirements for an adoption.
  • Publishers Invitation to Submit comprises an
    expressed agreement with publishers who submit
    materials for consideration for adoption.
    Publishers who fail to adhere to the requirements
    are removed from consideration for adoption.

  • Curriculum Commission recommends and the SBE
    appoints two types of review panels
  • Instructional Materials Advisory Panel (IMAP)
  • Content Review Panel (CRP)
  • IMAP is composed primarily of classroom teachers
    but also includes a broad range of other
    participants and evaluate materials according to
    all elements of the criteria.
  • CRP is composed of recognized subject matter
    experts who review materials according to the
    content criteria, standards, ensure materials are
    accurate, adequate in their coverage, and based
    on current and confirmed research.

IMAP/CRP Training

  • Curriculum Commissioners and CDE staff train IMAP
    and CRP members on the evaluation criteria.
  • Publishers provide presentations on their
    programs to their reviewers.
  • Following the training, the program(s) that each
    IMAP and CRP member is reviewing are sent
    directly to them by publishers.

cib-cfir-sep07item02 Attachment 1 Page 8 of 11
  • Each reviewer has 2-3 months to review the
    programs assigned to his/her panel.
  • IMAP/CRP members then reconvene for a week of
    deliberations.
  • All of the deliberations are public meetings and
    are open to publishers and the general public.
  • Panels develop a consensus as to whether each
    program they are reviewing meets the evaluation
    criteria.
  • At the end of deliberations, each panel writes a
    report of findings on each program that they
    reviewed.

Curriculum Commission

    Commissioners and released to the public.
  • Commission holds two hearings on the
    recommendations, one before the Subject Matter
    Committee and before the full Commission.
  • Commission votes to recommend materials to the
    SBE for adoption.

  • Adoption process is designed to ensure that the
    public has the opportunity to review and comment
    on resources considered for SBE adoption.
  • Prior to the SBE action, a 30-day public display
    period is held. Materials are on display at
    Learning Resource Display Centers (LRDCs)
    throughout the state and the public is encouraged
    to review them and send in comments.
  • Written comments on the submitted materials are
    forwarded to the Curriculum Commission and the
    SBE for consideration.

Public Hearing before the SBE
cib-cfir-sep07item02 Attachment 1 Page 11 of 11
  • Public hearing is a final opportunity for the
    public to weigh in on the materials under
    consideration for adoption.
  • SBE considers the recommendations of the
    Curriculum Commission, public input, and their
    own review in making their final decision.
  • Following the SBE action, an Adoption Report is
    prepared and posted on the California Department
    of Education Web site.
