Curriculum Adoption Rubric

For Purposeful Design Publications Textbooks

The Textbook Adoption Rubric is a tool for teachers, department chairs, supervisors, curriculum directors, and heads of school to use for the textbook adoption step of their comprehensive curriculum review process.

Purposeful Design Publications, the publishing division of ACSI, knows that textbooks play an important role in helping teachers provide high-quality, standards-aligned instruction. This beneficial and convenient rubric will help users determine a textbook’s adherence to critical features of instructional materials such as academic standards, use of best practices, application of skills, quality of formative and summative assessments, integration of digital components, and alignment with the school’s mission and vision.
