Rights: Supplementary

FAQ

May a teacher use supplementary instructional materials?

Yes. The Governing Board encourages the use of supplementary instructional materials to enrich the curriculum and enhance student learning. Such materials shall be aligned with district goals, curriculum objectives, and academic standards and shall supplement and not supplant the use of Board adopted basic instructional materials that serve as the primary learning resources [MCS BP 6161.11, EC 60010].

Does a teacher need prior approval to use supplementary instructional materials?

No. Whenever a district employee proposes to use a supplementary resource which is not included in the approved learning resources of the district, he/she shall preview the material to determine whether, in his/her professional judgment, it is appropriate for the grade level taught and is consistent with district criteria for the selection of supplementary instructional materials [MCS BP 6161.11].
