District staff outline STEMScopes four-year adoption as primary math resource
Summary
Victoria ISD staff told trustees STEMScopes has been used in classrooms and is proposed as the primary math resource under a four-year adoption; the board approved the recommended purchases 5-0.
Ms. Garza told the board that STEMScopes has been used informally for several years and that the adoption before trustees represents a revised version (moved from 3.5 to 4.0) with updated teacher supports, facilitation guides and presentation materials.
"Because it's a four-year adoption, that resource is so much more expensive," Ms. Garza said, explaining why STEMScopes comprises a larger share of the packet. She said the adoption committee reviewed alignment, rigor and lesson strategies and recommended staying with the resource after piloting earlier versions.
The board approved the full set of recommended materials, including STEMScopes, by a 5-0 vote. The transcript did not state the exact dollar amount for the STEMScopes component.
