Curriculum review requires careful evaluation, and the Orange County Department of Education will provide districts with a centralized opportunity to examine new state-approved resources at its Math Instructional Materials Fair on Jan. 22.
The free event, held at the Hilton Orange County/Costa Mesa, will give district teams a one-stop opportunity to review K-8 and Algebra 1 mathematics programs recently approved by the California State Board of Education.
With more than 60 programs from 27 publishers on display, educators and administrators can compare materials side by side and speak directly with publisher representatives about alignment to the 2023 California Mathematics Framework and state standards.
The fair is designed to support districts preparing for upcoming adoptions by placing a wide range of instructional resources in a single setting. Attendees will also have access to state and national tools that inform the review process, including information on the California Department of Education’s evaluation criteria and guidance from CalCurriculum.
The event is open to district leadership, teachers, teachers on special assignment and instructional teams. Registration is required.
