GCPS Invites Community to Participate in Review of Instructional Resources

Submitted by GCPS

Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS) invites parents and members of the community to join GCPS staff members by participating in a review of proposed curriculum resources. The public review, which began this week, will run until Friday, October 31, 2014.

GCPS holds an extensive review before adopting resources for classroom use. Resources submitted by publishers are reviewed by parents, community members, teachers, and administrators for alignment with the school system’s Academic Knowledge and Skills (AKS) curriculum. During the review, GCPS staff and members of the Gwinnett community will review student textbooks, digital resources, and associated teacher resources for Language Arts for all grades, K-12.

The review is scheduled at the following times at GCPS’ Instructional Support Center (ISC), located at 437 Old Peachtree Road NW in Suwanee.

• Monday–Friday, Oct. 13-31, 8 a.m.–4 p.m.
• Thursday, Oct. 16, 5–8 p.m.
• Saturday, Oct. 18, 10 a.m.–2 p.m.

Both print and digital resources will be provided for review in the hallway between Buildings 100 and 200 at the ISC during review hours. Based on all input gathered from this review, a recommendation will be made to the Gwinnett County Board of Education for adoption of resources.

For more information about the instructional review process, please contact Ryan Queen, Director of Instructional Resources and Support, 678-301-6828.
