-
In compliance with Title 14, Section 12 of the Delaware Code, this document sets forth statewide policies and guidelines developed by the Delaware State Board of Education for selecting textbooks and other educational materials. After a brief introduction and a policy statement, recommendations are provided to local school districts for establishing textbook selection procedures. This is followed by general advice on selecting textbooks and other materials, definition of terms, and general characteristics required for accountability. The main body of the document lists specific selection criteria under five general categories: (1) coverage/content, (2) instructional approach, (3) utility, (4) evaluation/validity, and (5) special considerations. An appraisal format is provided for evaluating instructional materials, along with guidance on controversial materials and basic principles for minimizing biases. Appended are (1) a sample district-level textbook selection and examination policy with accompanying evaluation forms, and (2) an outline of general principles, responsibilities, and procedures for selection of textbooks and instructional resources.
