Rockdale County Public Schools believes it is imperative to ensure the alignment of all instructional materials, textbooks, and computer or other media-based materials. RCPS will hold a period of public review for science textbook adoption between January 9 – January 25, 2018. Parents and teachers are invited to view the resources and provide feedback to help in the final selection of K-12 science resources. All resources can be viewed digitally and onsite at each school. As the Georgia Standards of Excellence for Science raises the level of expectation for teaching and learning, stakeholder feedback is critical. We encourage all stakeholders to provide feedback. Thank you for supporting our mission to make Science a verb in RCPS!
Directions: After reviewing all resources, please use the indicators below (feedback links) to record your feedback on the science adoption materials regarding content, assessment, pedagogy and ease of use. For each, indicate the description that best describes how the digital curriculum meets the criteria listed below. List specific strengths and weaknesses in the comments space provided. These comments should support particularly low or high scores.
Please submit feedback by January 25, 2018.
