Please complete the following form to make your submission for the textbook review process. All publishers are on the same form. You will have the option of submitting a different form for Levels IV and V. The rubric for you to use repeats itself for each of the available publishers. The textbook portion of the rubric will have 60% weight and the ancillary portion will have 40% weight. Each person's vote will count equally.

Make sure you scroll all the way to the bottom of the submission form to answer open-ended questions and to submit your responses. Call Alicia at 15046 if you have any questions.
