The public has the chance to review textbooks and other learning resources for instruction in Grades K-12 Mathematics. The 2012 Learning Resources Evaluation Sites will be open for approximately three weeks. The sites will allow the public, including parents and educators, to review and evaluate learning resources that may be used in the classroom during the coming years.
There are 13 sites around the state with one in each of Georgia’s congressional districts. Gordon Central High School (cafeteria) is the evaluation and review site closest to Dalton. The site is open on the following dates and times: July 2-3, 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and July 9-12 during the same hours. The high school is at 335 Warrior Path N.E. in Calhoun.
The purpose of the state learning resources evaluation process is to provide local systems with a recommended list of learning resources for use in Georgia’s public schools. After educators and the public are given opportunities to review and make comments on materials submitted by publishers for consideration, the State Learning Resources Advisory committee generates a list of recommended learning resources. The recommendation process is based on a six-year cycle. Each year, the state reviews learning resources that relate to a particular subject or group of subjects in order to create a recommended list.
Learning resources that meet standards as set by the state are recommended. Each local system will determine which learning resources best meet the system’s particular instructional needs. School systems rely on the recommended list as their primary source of information about available learning resources and turn to it first when beginning their local recommendation process.
After the summer review, the Learning Resources Advisory Committee will meet in July to compile a recommended list of learning resources for approval by the State Board of Education.
If you have questions concerning the review this summer, please contact Randall N. Lee at rlee@doe.k12.ga.us or (404) 656-0476.
