PROCLAMATION 2024

Shallowater ISD is committed to selecting and providing quality curriculum resources, professional learning, services, and instructional materials that support student learning. The process for the selection of instructional materials provides an opportunity to make informed decisions in selecting quality, state curriculum-aligned instructional materials.

• Science, K-12
• Technology Apps, K-8
• CTE, various courses
• Personal Financial Literacy and Economics

The district-adopted materials to support the TEKS of the included courses are scheduled for implementation in the 2024–25 school year.

Throughout this process, Shallowater ISD stakeholders have worked to accomplish the following goals:

• Preserve the integrity of the adoption process,
• Provide opportunities for feedback and input on proposed selections,
• Select the best instructional materials for students and teachers,
• Follow state and district policy (EHAA) in the instructional materials selection process 
• Support the final instructional materials selections with professional learning opportunities and technical assistance.
