Please join us if you're available!
This website is full of lots of helpful info! On the "adoption info" section,
for example, you'll find sample textbook forms you can use as well as a PDF of the powerpoint from my Sept Zoom presentations for your reference: Check it out here.
Just a quick reminder - the first of my Zoom Trainings is This Friday, Sept. 12 from 1:00-2:30 (not 3:00).

Other Quick Reminders for You:
ou should be getting your district's textbook committee approved at your Sept or Oct. Board Meeting.
First of Oct: I will email you a list of participating publishers in the social studies adoption for you to request samples. It will have the reps contact names, numbers, & emails.
We already have social studies caravan reservations from 78 districts - thanks so much for jumping on this so quickly; I know you have LOTS going on! It really helps us with our planning!
As a reminder, the deadline is this Friday, August 22nd. RESERVE YOUR SPACE HERE if you have yet to do so. At this time, you are JUST reserving seats for the elementary & secondary sessions you wish your district to attend. You don't need the names 'til later.
I'll be in Montgomery tomorrow with the ALSDE committees who are finishing their reviews. With that in mind, it is really too early to begin seeking samples. But there are things you can be doing now & throughout September which can help your review process run much more smoothly:
