To support LEAs in ensuring supplementary materials meet the needs of their students, NMPED worked with teachers, administrators, and local stakeholders to create the Rubric for Social Studies Supplementary Instructional Materials.  The purpose of this rubric is to provide guidance and look-fors for educators and administrators to use to determine the quality and alignment of supplementary instructional materials to the New Mexico Social Studies Standards, cultural and linguistic responsiveness, and instructional supports to meet the needs of all students.  Please watch this short Zoom recording to get more information on how to utilize this tool to review social studies supplementary instructional materials.

2020 Structured Literacy Adoption Information (Revised 8.9.22)

The supplemental instructional materials list provides LEAs with information on supplemental materials for structured literacy.  Unlike comprehensive core materials, which are reviewed by New Mexico educators for quality and alignment to standards, supplemental materials are not reviewed.  The adopted supplemental instructional materials for Structured Literacy can be found by clicking the 2021 K-8 ELA, SLA, ELD, WL, SL tab in the Adopted Multiple List–All Subjects.

In ELA, NMPED conducts reviews of comprehensive materials submitted for core designation to identify programs that adequately address grade level standards in all strands of ELA: reading, writing, speaking and listening, and language development.  Supplemental materials, which are not reviewed by NMPED, attend to one or more (but not all) of these literacy strands. In this case, supplemental materials are designed to provide support in structured literacy instruction.

Per SB398, each school district and charter school is required to provide timely, appropriate, systematic, scientific, evidence-based interventions for students displaying characteristics of dyslexia.  While some comprehensive programs include structured literacy components, supplements may be required for intervention or when core materials do not adequately address structured literacy.  The supplemental instructional materials on this list have not been reviewed for quality and alignment, so school districts/charter schools should conduct their own review to ensure they meet local needs. NMPED is providing LEAs the Structured Literacy Instructional Material Review Rubric that can be used to evaluate the supplemental instructional materials for components of structured literacy.
