Nominations for the 2024 Mathematics Textbook Review Committee
At the September 14, 2023 Board of Education meeting, the Department of Education was authorized to proceed with the K-12 mathematics textbook state approval process. It is anticipated that the review will be completed by March 2024.
An important part of the approval process for the K-12 mathematics textbooks is the review of the publishers’ submitted items by teachers, curriculum supervisors, administrators, mathematics educators, and others who have expertise with the content of the 2023 Mathematics Standards of Learning. The Department of Education is seeking nominations from division superintendents for individuals who are qualified and available to serve on committees to review K-12 mathematics textbooks beginning in November 2023. Nominees should be teachers, mathematics specialists, or curriculum supervisors who have expertise with the content area and the standards.
Committee members reviewing the K-12 mathematics textbooks will be asked to review the submitted textbooks and submit correlation worksheets to the Department for a final review of all submitted materials. Committee members be compensated for their work.
All individuals who wish to serve on one of the Mathematics Textbook review committees must submit an application through the Web-based process, Instruction Committee Application Processing System (ICAPS). The application will require a professional reference and division approval. Completed applications are due to the Virginia Department of Education through the ICAPS process by November 2, 2023. Committee members will be notified on or before November 14, 2023. Committee members will be selected on the basis of expertise, experience, and balanced regional representation. Please contact vdoe.mathematics@doe.virginia.gov with any questions.
