Selecting Research-Based Materials Workshop

Levels: K–6, 6–8, or 9–12 (intervention)
Length: 1 half-day per grade-level group
Audience: Curriculum and textbook adoption teams and/or school site staff

Description

This workshop provides guidance for any reading textbook and materials selection committee as they determine what materials will meet their needs and support the research on teaching reading. After using CORE’s “Consumer’s Guide” to making good material purchases, participants leave with criteria to consider and suggested resources. CORE does not recommend a specific program, but rather educates the decision makers so that they can make a truly informed decision based on their own needs.

Participant Outcomes

• Leave with criteria to consider and suggested resources.
• Efficiently narrow materials search.
