English Language Arts/Literacy Instructional Materials Adoption Training

Bring a district team and collaborate with colleagues to explore resources and learning around best practices in the process of adopting English language arts (ELA) instructional materials.

Ensuring instructional materials adoption (IMA) is grounded in best practices is critical to selecting well-aligned and high-quality English language arts and literacy instructional materials that support success for ALL students.
