TRANSCRIPT
TO: Dr. Mike Riggle
FROM: Dr. Rosanne Williamson
RE: PRELIMINARY REVIEW of TEXTBOOK CHANGES
DATE: April 5, 2017
Recommendation
The attached list of recommended textbook changes for next year is being presented for the Board’s preliminary review. It is my intention to resubmit this item on the consent agenda for approval at the regular Board meeting of April 24, 2017.
Textbook Adoption Process and Timeline
Requests have been proposed by teachers and were reviewed by Instructional Supervisors and Associate Principals. Copies of the textbooks will be available for viewing at Associate Principals’ offices of respective schools. Eric Etherton, Associate Principal at Glenbrook North, Cameron Muir, Associate Principal at Glenbrook South, and Instructional Supervisors will be at the meeting to assist in addressing questions.
While this compilation contains the majority of textbook changes, we may bring to the Board a limited number of texts in mid-summer as a result of summer curriculum projects.
Digital Resources Update
With 1:1 Chromebook implementation, many digital textbooks and resources are proposed for adoption. Cost-savings associated with digital resources are substantial. There is no buy-back for digital versions of textbooks; however, the greatly reduced price far exceeds what parents would receive in buy-back of print textbooks.
Agenda Item #8
Glenbrook North High School Textbook Adoptions for 2017-18
To: Dr. Rosanne Williamson From: Eric Etherton cc: Dr. John Finan Date: April 4, 2017 Re: Textbook Adoptions for 2017-18
Attached you will find the Glenbrook North Textbook Change Summary 2017-18 document. The GBN curriculum has continued to evolve through the curriculum review process, the availability of digital resources, addition of new courses and updating of curricular resources and ongoing initiatives to support literacy skills. With these initiatives, changes in textbooks emerged from the following areas:
● Math (1)● Social Studies (3)● World Languages (7)

Memo To: Rosanne Williamson, Assistant Superintendent

Date: April 4, 2017
Re: Textbook Adoptions for 2017-2018
Attached you will find one document that summarizes the request for textbook adoptions: Textbook Change Summary 2017-2018.
The curriculum at GBS continues to evolve through the Educational Planning Process, the AP Audit, articulation with sender districts, research in best practices, and the ever changing needs of our at-risk students. GBS continues its focused work on curricular alignment, backward design, and instructional strategies. This work has led faculty in their professional conversations related to best practices in those areas. The recently adopted Technology Vision along with efforts over recent years to incorporate technology into the classroom and capitalize on online sources influences and informs the decision related to instructional materials. Some of the choices for new texts are an outcome of the continued work of these course teams as they reflect on appropriate, relevant and engaging material for students.
Along with these curricular changes, come requests for changes in a number of textbooks in English (4), health, (1), mathematics(10), social studies (2), science (6), and world language (12).

assignments. Features like “help me solve this”, “view an example,” “Virtual Nerd”
video tutorials, “ask the professor,” and direct links to the textbook are some of the
tools students can use to for homework support when not in school. In addition to
using this program with homework assignments, it can be used in class to create

2018 $25.00
With the adoption of Common Core, the Algebra 2 curriculum has experienced a
dramatic shift in concepts and topics covered. This new text is aligned to the
Common Core and provides relevant examples, mathematical modeling, challenge
problems, and focuses on visual learning while using different parts of the brain to
connect ideas. The digital platform allows the team to rearrange content if needed with
embedded digital math tools as learning aids and immediate feedback for students.
While there is still the option to print paper copies of resources like
assessments(formative and summative), the digital platform can conform to the
students’ needs by allowing for differentiated instruction in mathematical literacy, and
additional practice .
Having an electronic copy also saves the students money and provides easy access
for students to use outside of class. This electronic version is also easier to update to
new version/edition in the future if needed.

can also be used for quizzes and tests if the teacher desires. Having the students use
MathXL for homework will increase their content knowledge because it gives them
immediate feedback. If a student is struggling, it has an option of helping the student
through the problem. The program will also help with the transition from the two-year
precalculus program to the new one-year course.
