Learning Resources Evaluation Process
The Student Achievement and Supports Branch is responsible for making decisions regarding the titles included on lists of recommended learning resources. Before the ministry recommends and lists learning resources, each item is evaluated as part of a systematic process that includes the pre-selection of materials, the initial screening of pre-selected items by ministry consultants, and a thorough evaluation by one or more of the following groups:
• ministry consultants
• two or more practising educators who are encouraged, where possible, to involve students in the process
• selected committees of practising classroom teachers, who evaluate materials as a group at a pre-arranged time and location
• specialists in the content area.
