Item XIII B - Present and Approve the Textbook Adoption for History/Social
Science K-8
Speaker:
David Rodriguez, Assistant Superintendent
Quick Summary / Abstract:
Superintendent Recommends Approval David Rodriguez, Assistant
Superintendent
Recommended Motion:
The Board is asked to receive a presentation and approve the
History/Social Science textbook adoption for K-8.
Rationale:
The selection review team was trained by the UC Davis History Project on
the background to the processes, development, and adoption of the new
History/Social Science (H/SS) Curriculum Framework for California Public
Schools (2016) and the K-8 History/Social Science Instructional Materials
approved list by the State Board of Education. The participants examined
quotations from the Framework, which addressed the four instructional
shifts (updated content, inquiry & disciplinary thinking, literacy to address
both the CCSS and ELD standards and citizenship), before each of the
shifts were examined in more depth with recommended instructional
strategies. A specific time was devoted to understanding the FAIR Act
requirements and Framework recommendations. Participants also received
and explored their grade-level chapters from the framework. The work then
shifted to how to identify if the new materials effectively addressed the four
shifts and other requirements such as “Equity and Access” and
“Assessment.” The selection review team narrowed the publishers for grade
spans K-5 and 6-8 down to two publishers for the pilot. The first
textbook/curriculum pilot session successfully ran from October 15 -
November 9, 2018. Both grade spans, K-5 and 6-8 piloted instructional
materials from the first publisher. After the first pilot was completed
students took a survey and teachers entered their data into the NUSD H/SS
piloting teachers scoring sheet and on a K-12 History/Social Studies Pilot
Teacher Survey. The second pilot session successfully ran from January 15
- February 8, 2019. After the second pilot was completed students took a
survey and teachers entered their data into the NUSD’s H/SS piloting
teachers scoring sheet and on a K-12 History/Social Studies Pilot Teacher
Survey. Throughout the piloting process parents, students, and community
members were able to provide feedback on the pilot textbook/curriculum at
four Parent/Community Information Nights that were held from 6 - 7:30 pm.
- October 17th at Natomas High School
- November 28th at Inderkum High School
- December 5th at Jefferson School
- January 23rd (2019) at Natomas Park Elementary
After reviewing all input, student data and available research, School
Leadership and Support recommend the Board adopt:
- Elementary K-5 History/Social Science textbook California Studies
Weekly- Social Studies, published by Studies Weekly
- 6-8 History/Social Science textbook California History-Social
Science: myWorld Interactive, published by Pearson Scott Foresman
and Prentice Hall
