PLEASE NOTE: THE LEAD CONTACT MUST COMPLETE THIS REGISTRATION.
The 2019 Science instructional materials adoption is slated to occur in the 2019-2020 school year. The California State Board of Education will take action on the recommendations of the Instructional Quality Commission and establish a list of state adopted instructional materials for Science, grades K-8.
This one-day Fair will be held to serve the needs of districts across Los Angeles County in their effort to support the implementation of Next Generation Science Standards. The Fair is designed to allow time for district and school personnel to learn about the state adoption process and preview instructional programs submitted for adoption, as well as instructional materials from other publishers and non-profit entities. Participants will have access to information and recommendations for conducting your materials adoption.
We are inviting you to participate in this unique opportunity to exhibit your instructional materials. Although the adoption is for TK-8th Grade, we are also offering you the opportunity to display your high school programs.
Exhibit Space and Fees: The exhibitor fee of $275 per 8-foot table includes a tablecloth, electrical outlet at each table, free wifi, two chairs per table, and refreshments. Because of space limitations, considerations of maximum tables can be negotiated by each organization. Past practice by the Los Angeles County Office of Education have been a limit of 2 tables per organization.
Set Up and Tear Down We will determine if and where storage might be located for the day before the event. There will be no storage longer than that. The exhibit room will be open as early as 6:30 am. All booths should be set up by 8:15 am. The exhibitor, at its own expense, will provide all other furnishings, power cords, power strips, computers, and other equipment or items related to the assigned space. Please do not project beyond the space allocated or obstruct the view of the exhibits of others.
