Review and Adoption Update
Texas Resource Review (TRR) Science Rubric (Second Draft)
The Texas Resource Review (TRR) provides Texas educators with free access to comprehensive and user-friendly information about the quality of instructional materials. As a part of this process, the agency will ensure the definition of quality is transparently communicated via Texas Resource Review rubrics that will be used to assess instructional materials.
The draft TRR K–8 and high school science rubrics have been updated to incorporate feedback we received during the public comment period and through focus groups with districts, education service centers, and publishers. We have summarized the feedback and the rubric updates on a memo of changes.
Submit feedback on the second drafts by Wednesday, October 12, by filling out the Public Comment Submission Form.
As we collect and review submitted feedback, we will track additional changes on the memo of changes and post it to the Texas Resource Review webpage and will release a final version of the rubric that incorporates those changes. We hope to have the final rubric posted by the end of October. Products will be reviewed using the science rubric in spring 2023 and reports will be available in fall 2023.
Visit the Texas Resource Review webpage for more information or submit a help desk ticket if you have questions related to the TRR.
