Instructional Materials Adoption (IMA)

The review and adoption process determines the instructional materials eligible for adoption by the State Board of Education (SBOE). The process starts when the SBOE revises or adopts new Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) and is complete with the selection and implementation of new materials by school districts.

The SBOE creates an adoption cycle for subjects in the foundation curriculum (English and Spanish language arts and reading, math, science, social studies) to ensure materials in those subjects are reviewed once every eight years. A review of materials for the enrichment curriculum may occur less often. Enrichment subjects are languages other than English, health, physical education, fine arts, career and technology education, technology applications, religious literature, and personal financial literacy.

Instructional Materials Publisher Showcase

Region 13 hosts an Instructional Materials Publisher Showcase annually to allow publishers in the current adoption year to showcase their products, answer questions, and provide additional information to assist districts in choosing the products that most meet their district needs.

Digital samples may be viewed from any location through the TEA website (link will be available as early ast 4-11-23).

We anticipate that the Instructional Materials Publisher Showcase for Proclamation 2024 will occur in November 2023.
