Instructional Resources
Instructional resources are selected to assist students with learning the curriculum.
Instructional resources include textbooks, supplemental materials, library media
materials, and technology. Instructional resources are aligned with the curriculum
and are selected to match students' varied interests, abilities, and learning styles.
While textbooks are not the only source for learning, textbooks are the most commonly
used instructional resource to assist students with learning content, skills, and
processes. St. Mary’s County Public Schools has adopted textbooks for use in many
courses at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. Textbooks are adopted by
a committee of teachers, administrators, and supervisors of instruction. Textbooks
are displayed publicly in all three St. Mary’s County public libraries and at the
Department of Curriculum and Instruction for public preview before adoption. Notices
of such adoptions appear in the local press.
A list of the most frequently used textbooks is provided. Questions regarding the use
of textbooks and other instructional resources should be addressed to the teacher
and/or principal.
