The materials for grades 6-12 students was selected by the Secondary ELA Textbook Adoption Committee, which is comprised of teachers representing each secondary campus in NBISD.
According to Dr. Victoria Pursch, Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction for NBISD, the new materials produced by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt incorporate digital components that will be integrated into the districts one-to-one technology initiative.
“[The materials are] digital, which as we know comes in real handy when you suddenly get to do remote learning so school can continue,” Pursch said.
The program will be adopted over the course of eight years and will be paid for through budgeted funds from the Instructional Materials Allotment committee.
