OSPI’s Teaching & Learning division conducts periodic reviews of instructional materials:

• Purpose: To inform districts of the alignment of materials to our state standards.
• This is a service to districts as Washington is a local control state and selecting to use these materials is not a requirement.
• Reviews are conducted in partnership with publishing companies who submit their materials for review.
• Reports are made available to all school districts.
• School District Resources for Selecting Instructional Materials
  • Guidance for Selection of Instructional Materials (PDF)
  • Policy Samples and Process Overviews - Appendices (PDF)
  • Washington Models for the Evaluation of Bias Content in Instructional Materials (PDF)
