CdA schools get new science books

Opportunities to update school books and classroom materials seem about as rare as the appearance of Halley’s Comet, said Mike Nelson. So, when the Coeur d’Alene School District director of curriculum and assessment got the chance to update the district’s science curriculum this year, he took it very seriously. “Anytime that you put money behind an item like a book, I think people see that sometimes as ‘Well, they are just buying a book,’” Nelson said. “Actually, we are buying instruction, we are buying resources, we are buying things that are going to light a kid’s eyes up and those are the most important things.”/ Keith Cousins , CDA Press.
