Curricular Materials

The adoption process for curricular materials follows a six-year cycle, in alignment with Idaho Content Standards reviews. The State Board of Education’s Curricular Materials Selection Committee approves Content Area Adoption Guides, ensuring that materials meet state standards. While the materials undergo a thorough review, the final selection of materials is up to each local district or charter school, in accordance with their own policies and procedures.

For more details on the 2024 Curricular Materials Review, including the adoption process, Open Educational Resources (OER), publisher information, and more, visit the Idaho Department of Education’s Curricular Materials webpage.
