State Schools Chief Jack O'Connell Invites Public
Input on Mathematics Instructional Resources
SACRAMENTO — State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O'Connell announced today that instructional materials submitted for the 2007 K-8 mathematics adoption are available for public review and comment during October throughout California. The comment period began immediately after the Curriculum Development and Supplemental Materials Commission released the list of instructional materials it recommended for adoption to the State Board of Education.
"Thirty-three publishers submitted 54 programs for review in this round of K-8 mathematics adoption making this one of the largest adoptions conducted by the state," said O’Connell. "With this wide variety of mathematics instructional materials we will be able to offer schools additional resources to help students who are struggling and thus help close the achievement gap. I urge interested parties to take the opportunity to review these materials. This process provides an important opportunity for the public to confirm students will get the content they need and also gives community members a say on what instructional resources students should get."
For the first time, publishers were able to submit programs in three separate categories: basic, algebra readiness, and intervention programs. Intervention programs are designed to provide additional support and instruction for students working below grade level in grades 4-7. One-hundred-forty-one Instructional Material Advisory Panel and fourteen Content Review Panel members reviewed the programs. The panel members included classroom teachers, community members, mathematics educators, and mathematicians.
Now it is the public's turn to review the instructional materials that have already been on display since April 2007 at 21 Learning Resources Display Centers (LRDCs) located throughout California. After viewing the materials, people may submit comments on forms available at the LRDCs. Comment must be received by October 31, 2007, to be considered by the State Board of Education. Also, comments may be sent by e-mail to math@cde.ca.gov. They may mail comments to: Tom Adams, Curriculum Frameworks and Instructional Resources Division, California Department of Education, 1430 N Street, Suite 3207, Sacramento, California 95814. People may also present their concerns at a public hearing of the State Board of Education on November 7-8, 2007, whether or not they have completed public comment forms. The public hearing would mark the end of the review for the instructional materials submitted for the 2007 K-8 mathematics adoption.
The complete list of recommended materials is attached. For locations of the LRDCs, please visit Learning Resource Display Centers - Curriculum Frameworks & Instructional Materials.
