– Beginning June 22, educators and the public will have a chance to review
textbooks and other learning resources for instruction in K-12 Foreign/Modern
Languages & Latin and K-12 English as a Second Language (ESOL). The 2015
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 over the coming
years.
There
are 14 sites around the state with one in each of Georgia’s congressional
districts. The sites will be open Monday-Thursday, generally during the school
business hours. All sites are closed on Fridays and holidays.Click here for specific locations and times. This year, the
state is compiling a list of learning resources and instructional materials for
Grades K-12 Foreign/Modern Languages & Latin and ESOL courses.
After
the summer review, the Learning Resources Advisory Committee will meet in late
July to compile a recommended list of learning resources for approval by the
State Board of Education. Each local school system will determine which
learning resources best meet the system’s particular instructional needs.
