HIGH SCHOOL MATH TEXTBOOK ADOPTION

Project Description: The Buffalo Board of Education is conducting a high school textbook adoption. Accordingly, the Buffalo Board of Education requests that publishers submit CORE instructional resources for review and evaluation. An instructional resource must consist of the following components: 1) educational materials to be used by students; 2) resource materials to be used by teachers to support the curriculum; 3) instructional technology, and 4) professional development training. Publishers may submit a CORE instructional resource for one or more of the following subject areas and grade levels within the content area:
(a) Algebra I (required)
(b) Geometry
(c) Algebra II
The purpose of this RFP is to provide the Buffalo Public Schools with a scientific, evidenced-based, rigorous, CORE mathematics instructional resource that is aligned to the New York State Next Generation Standards. This resource will be used by all students, teachers, staff, and families of Buffalo Public Schools for core mathematics instruction.
The instructional resource must be culturally responsive and offer online resources for teachers and families. It must reflect the importance of every student’s engagement with the New York State Next Generation Learning Standards and ensure a rigorous and developmentally appropriate approach to learning is achievable as outlined by New York State. Additionally, the instructional resource must include strategies to clearly help children develop procedural skills, conceptual understanding, problem solving strategies, vocabulary, fluency and accurate mathematics content knowledge through unit-based learning. Lastly, the program must be adaptive to meet the needs of all learners, including multilingual, special education, and advanced students.
