• Standards and interests are developed
• Screening criteria is created
• Available resources are reviewed
• Consensus and recommendation is made
• Public review is conducted
• Approval from Instructional Materials Committee and Lake Washington School District board

Meetings: Approximately once a month.

The adoption process is on a timeline with curriculum being reviewed every eight to ten years.
