Expectations for Implementation:
- Communication:
- The approved list of textbooks and the buy guides are located in the District Document Center under Teaching and Learning >> Social Studies.
- When ordering new textbook materials, teachers must select from the approved list.
- Depending on the available budget, teachers may choose from physical and/or digital materials.
- We recognize not all teachers will purchase materials. Purchasing social studies textbook materials is at the discretion of school administrator and/or teacher.
- For teachers using textbook materials as their main source of curriculum, it is important to update their materials within the school budgetary timeline for purchasing social studies materials.
- Schools purchase the materials. The T&L Department can help coordinate your order.
- Collaboration:
- Contact Amy Burris, amy.burris@slcschools.org to coordinate purchasing materials.
- Timeline:
- August 20, 2025 through next adoption cycle (potentially 2032)
