Choosing a new curriculum for New Mexico public school districts is no small task. Each content area goes through a six-year adoption cycle. So, before committing, districts solicit input from teachers, parents, administrators and even community members, in an effort to make the best choices for their kids. One reason we chose MidSchoolMath is that the middle grades represent the critical time in a studentâs academic career. When the Santa Fe Public School system had to select a new math curriculum last year, they went in search of something that met their pedagogical needs and best served their unique school population. And they found MidSchoolMathâmuch to the delight of Erica Wheeler, Lead Instructional Materials Coordinator for Santa Fe Public Schools.
