Regional Curriculum Resource Center
Location:
Our Curriculum Resource Center is a part of the Learning Resource Center which is located on the ground floor of O'Donnell Hall room 046.
There are a total of six regional curriculum centers in the state of New Mexico. All materials in the center are sent by publishers participating in the state curriculum adoption process. The main purpose of the center is to provide regional access for educators to preview the materials that have been state approved prior to purchasing the materials.
The adoption process is accomplished on a rotating five year cycle. Materials included in the current cycle year must be used only in the center. Schools, education students and faculty, and parents of the children in our state are invited to visit the center and examine the materials. Since most of the materials, including the videos and manipulatives can be checked out for classroom and home use, it is well worth your time to explore the Learning Resource Center.
The Material Adoption Cycle is Defined as Follows:
| State Adoption Year | Subjects | Local Adoption Year |
| 2007 | SECTION 1: Career -Technical Education, Adult Basic Education and Driver Education | 2008-2009 |
