Dear Colleagues,

USBE is excited to announce the Fall 2023 Instructional Materials Review! We have received a variety of exciting NEW curriculum items from publishers and are looking forward to beginning the evaluation process. You can be one of the first people to examine these new items for Secondary English Language Arts.

Scope of Review

All reviews are completed remotely from home by collaborative teams of 3 or more reviewers. Each participant will review up to 5 items to be reviewed and will be paid $50 per item. It is estimated a team will complete a review of an item in an hour.

Your name on the instructional material review will remain anonymous when your critique is published. Other educators and districts/charters around the state are relying on these reviews for instructional guidance in purchasing and adopting these materials. Your opinion is very important! All materials reviewed are new to our state and will be published on the Utah State Board of Education MIDAS website.

If you are interested in reviewing, please complete this formhttps://forms.gle/SE3HTpJJboDw1NFU8 by AUGUST 10th.

If accepted, you will be guided as to further instructions to be hired and supported in the process.

Naomi Watkins, Ph.D. Secondary English Language Arts Specialist Utah State Board of Education (801) 538-7616
