The curriculum adoption is intended to work with the framework teachers have created through the PLC process.
ADE allows districts to choose a curriculum, with an eye to our district and our population, which meets the needs of our students. The district has the responsibility to ensure that all standards are covered.
The following selected curriculum options have been vetted by a committee of practitioners in the Tanque Verde School District. Members of the committee were present to discuss the options.

The ELA Adoption process includes a 60-day review process for textbooks of the English Language Arts materials for use in Kindergarten through 6th grade classrooms in the Tanque Verde and Agua Caliente Elementary Schools.

The district is proposing the adoption of the following curriculum materials for the 2022-23 school year:

● Collaborative Classroom’s Curriculum entitledCollaborative Literacy ● Scholastic’s curriculum entitled Scholastic Literacy

Before making a decision on the adoption, a board vote and a 60-day period of public review and comment are required. Hard copies of the curriculum materials are available for review Monday–Friday between the hours of 7:30 am - 4:00 pm at:
