The Instructional Material Bureau (IMB) of the New Mexico Public Education Department will be holding its annual summer review institute June 8-24 virtually.  (Dates are tentative.)  By engaging in the review process, educators gain deep insight into the quality and alignment of a variety of instructional materials and a deeper understanding of the standards. Without a doubt, it is one of the hardest processes you will ever be a part of, but one of the best professional development experiences you will ever have.  Selected review team leaders must attend a mandatory training session April 29-30, 2022 (dates are subject to change), as well as all virtual meetings, webinars, and recorded trainings leading up to the review institute.  Review team leaders are statutorily required to be a Level II or Level III educator with a current New Mexico teaching license.  Review team leaders will receive a stipend commensurate with the work completed, up to $2300.

The review team leader's primary responsibility is to unbiasedly review materials and provide evidence for alignment with standards and criteria for high quality using rubrics developed by a team of content area experts and the IMB.  Review team leaders are expected to be highly knowledgeable in their content area and be able to provide content and standards support throughout the review to their review team.  They are required to work with a team of two other reviewers to ensure understanding of the standards and authentic results; meet scheduled deadlines for completing the review; schedule and facilitate daily check-ins on progress toward final scores; attend daily check-ins with their facilitator; ensure the review team provides evidence that is valid; and lead reviewers toward an evidence-based appraisal of reviewed materials. These reviews are used to determine whether the submitted instructional materials are adopted or not adopted by the state.
