Have you ever wondered how schools pick the instructional materials used in classrooms? Gwinnett County Public Schools is inviting residents to help with that process.
Interested parents and community members are invited to apply to serve on the district’s Instructional Resources Review Committee, a group charged with evaluating print and digital instructional resources. Recommended resources will be considered for pilot in Gwinnett schools. This year’s IRRC will convene on March 9 at the J. Alvin Wilbanks Instructional Support Center at 437 Old Peachtree Road, NW, in Suwanee.

Instructional resources will be reviewed for select courses in the areas of Language Arts (grades 3-5 and high school), Social Studies (grades K-2, 6-8, and some high school), Career and Technical Education (grades 6-12), and Foreign Language (grades 6-12).
