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.
The Region 20 Instructional Materials Review and Approval (IMRA) Cycle 2024 Showcase is an event for publishers to showcase their IMRA Cycle 2024-related products to school district decision-makers. It is an opportunity for district staff to make informed choices by connecting with publishers, asking questions, and learning more about available materials to meet district instructional needs.
IMRA Cycle 2024 Includes:
K-5 English and Spanish language arts and reading (full-subject, tier-one instructional materials)
K-12 mathematics (full-subject, tier-one instructional materials)
K-3 English and Spanish phonics (partial-subject, tier-one instructional materials)
Publishers and Vendors may participate in one or both of the options: exhibit space and 50 min demonstration presentation.
