    We will meet Monday, February 4th. Please make sure you sign in on the CIMAT team meeting sheet as this needs to be submitted to the District by Wednesday, February 6th.  I hope you have had an opportunity to see the materials up for adoption.  February 6th is the last day those items will be available at Edison.

     

        • Make sure you have watched the video. The link here helps to provide context for the process - Video

     

        • NEW INFORMATION: Notify K – 5 teachers that PHONICS programs will be considered in a separate vote apart from the classroom packages. Please make sure that ALL K – 5 teachers understand that they are responsible for viewing and voting on the classroom packages and the phonics programs as 2 separate items. These phonics program options will be placed on display for the same date/times/locations as the classroom package options. A separate video highlighting the program options will be made available next week). 

     

        • We will need to watch the instructional materials adoption package options video during the meeting.

     

        • The voting window for the Instructional Materials Adoption will be from February 5 – 15, 2019. (Exact instructions on how to cast a vote using Google forms will be provided to you on Monday, February 4, 2019)

     

        • View and note  the key dates on the Instructional Materials Adoption Timeline so that you are aware of the process after voting occurs. The campus committee is responsible for submitting a recommendation to the DIMAT.

     

        • Please review the attached Instructional Materials Adoption Rubrics. It is suggested that the committee use the short version rubric when visiting the materials locations and/or viewing the materials overview video. Please note: The Long version Rubric will be used to rate the committee’s top package choice. A copy of the ratings will be submitted along with your final recommendation form to the DIMAT during your final committee meeting.

     

        • We will have a final committee meeting prior to 2/15/19. We will need to provide a sign in sheet as proof that we met as well as submit the Committee Recommendation form with completed rubric by end of day 2/15/19.
