Do's and Don'ts in Evaluating Textbooks
Kenneth C Krause · The Journal of Reading · 1976
Krause is a reading consultant at Howell (Michigan) High School. ■ Suppose your school bought 200 copies of a new textbook for woodshop last spring, and this fall your new teacher decided the books don't have enough projects and wants the school to spend $2,000 on new texts. Or, your freshman geography teachers refuse to use their present text and want to spend $5,000 on new materials. If these two unhappy situations or others like them have happened in your school, perhaps you can do something that can make such occurrences less common in the future.
