Seaside SD 10 adopts K'12 social studies materials in seven-year, $234,418.66 commitment
Summary
Board approved adoption of Teachers Curriculum Institute (TCI) for K'5 and Cengage/National Geographic for grades 6'12; staff said the seven-year package (print and digital) will cost $234,418.66 and include annual consumables and fall professional development.
Curriculum staff recommended a K'12 social studies adoption after a pilot of two vetted programs. The adoption team recommended Teachers Curriculum Institute (TCI) for grades K'5 and Cengage (National Geographic) for grades 6'12. A presenter described classroom benefits of TCI's approach to perspective-taking and higher-order tasks and said pilot teachers and student feedback favored active, hands-on learning.
Staff told trustees the adoption is a seven-year purchase that includes print workbooks and a digital platform; consumable materials will be replaced annually at no extra cost. The packet listed a seven-year total that was read aloud and corrected in subsequent review as $234,418.66. "I recommend to the Seaside School District School Board that you adopt Teachers Curriculum Institute or TCI for grades K through 5 and Cengage ... for grades 6 through 12," a presenter said. The motion to approve the adoption was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
