Curriculum Adoption
In Oregon, districts and schools aim for students to graduate career and college-ready, aligning with the state's academic content standards and exposing them to diverse materials and perspectives. Districts are required to have a planned K-12 instructional program with common curriculum goals and academic standards, following a regular instructional materials adoption schedule for core subject areas. These adoptions must adhere to Oregon statutes and administrative rules. The goal is to adopt a curriculum that is aligned with state standards, encourages student engagement, and supports educators in delivering effective and impactful instruction. The Astoria School District creates an adoption committee for each curriculum adoption that may include teachers, parents/guardians, administrators, and students.
Oregon Instructional Materials Adoption Schedule:
- 2025-2026 - Social Studies for implementation in Fall 2026
