Molalla River School District - Growing Exceptional Futures

MRSD Social Studies Curriculum Adoption

Molalla River School District has engaged in an extensive vetting process of instructional materials for Social Studies. We coordinated teams of teachers and staff in reviewing materials that the Oregon Department of Education has identified as high quality based on the Oregon Instructional Materials Evaluation Toolkit (OR-IMET) rubric. The teams used specific criteria and district instructional priorities to select the programs that best meet the needs of our students. We seek public feedback to help our School Board finalize their decision.

We ask willing community members to review these materials and give feedback to our school board. The school board will consider public comment as it decides whether to accept the recommendations of the adoption committees.
