Curriculum Development and Supplemental Materials Commission

POB 944272, Sacramento CA 94244-2720.

The California State Board of Education seeks
applications of candidates for appointment to
the Curriculum Development and Supplemental Materials
Commission (CDSMC).  The CDSMC
is a statutorily constituted advisory body to the State
Board of Education and the Superintendent
of Public Instruction on all matters
pertaining to curriculum framework development and
instructional materials adoption.

The Board appoints 13 members of the CDSMC,
each representing different public and
professional groups.  As of October 31, 1995,
four terms will expire on the CDSMC.


The Board is seeking qualified candidates to represent
kindergarten through grade twelve
teachers or administrators, or representatives of higher
education, especially with subject
matter expertise in one or more of the following areas:
        English-Language Arts
        Mathematics
        Science

In making its appointments, the Board attempts to keep the CDSMC's composition
reflective of California's general population within the specific
constraints of the law.

CDSMC terms are four years.  The terms of the pending appointments will begin
November 1, 1995 and end October 31, 1999.  Commissioners are not
paid; however travel
and lodging expenses are reimbursed.
Funding is not provided for substitute teaching personnel.

The work of the CDSMC is important and demanding.
The Commission meets approximately
five times per year for two or three day meetings.
Additional time is required to serve on
subcommittees of the Commission.  Individuals applying should be knowledgeable
and willing to commit the time and effort required.

Applications should be submitted to the Board Office as soon as possible
and postmarked
no later than Friday, August 18, 1995.

All applications will be screened and those candidates
selected will be asked to appear
for an interview.  Interviews are anticipated in October and will take place in
Sacramento with the Board's Screening Committee.  Announcement of the Board's
appointments will follow soon thereafter.
