Elementary Social Studies Resource Adoption Process
Timeline

After a committee was formed of teachers from the elementary schools in Harrison County:

® February-May

1. The Elementary Curriculum Coordinator and Technology Curriculum Specialist participated in
the WVDE 2024-25 Social Studies Instructional Resources Textbook Caravan. During this time,
textbook vendors shared their resources with participants.

2. A OneDrive folder with instructional resources, content standard alignments, and rubric
reviews provided by WVDE was created.

3. After the textbook caravan and reviewing the components of rubrics that were provided, it was
determined that Teacher Created Materials was the only company that met all grades
levels K-5.

4. Amemo was sent to all teachers that outlined this information and a link to all state provided
rubrics. In addition, teachers were given general information that detailed updates to TCM
from the last adoption in 2020 as well as digital access to preview the updated resources.

5. Teachers were encouraged to ask questions pertaining to the curriculum and the adoption.

6. After board approval, the adoption will be submitted to WVDE.
