Items available as an instructional resource are being created at an unprecedented rate. Technology has propelled the world to a new level of material availability, making it possible to produce or change, or update material daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly. At the same time, educators must use and develop classroom lessons and instructional materials that reflect global and cultural diversity that align to the strategic plan. AACPS staff must ensure that the materials used in the instructional program comply with the procedures outlined in this document as per Board of Education Policy.
