Textbooks

Elementary and secondary textbooks, teacher’s editions, resource books, etc.

Most of the TRC’s Kindergarten -12th grade textbooks are teacher’s editions. A teacher’s edition usually includes the corresponding student edition and teaching activities for each lesson in the student edition. At the Kindergarten – 8th grade level, most TRC textbooks have been adopted by the state of California, meaning there is a correlation between their content and the suggested content in Content Standards for California Public Schools. California does not adopt 9th – 12th grade (high school) textbooks. Occasionally the TRC receives textbook donations that include the full array of items made available by textbook publishers. These “textbook kits” include the teacher’s edition and may include manipulatives, videocassettes, audiocassettes, transparencies, assessment tools, suggested homework assignments, etc., all of which are related to material presented in the teacher’s edition.
