"APPLICATIONS INVITED:
California Curriculum Development and Supplemental Materials Commission
Final Filing Date: January 26, 1996

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

"The State Board appoints 13 members of the Curriculum Commission.  There
are currently two vacancies, and a third will occur as of October 31, 1996.
The State Board is especially interested in applications from classroom
teachers, school administrators, and postsecondary faculty who have
particular expertise in the areas of reading or mathematics with emphasis
on the elementary grades.

"The State Board endeavors to keep the Curriculum Commission's composition
reflective of California's general population within the specific
constraints of law.  Commission terms are for four years.  Commission
members are not paid, but are reimbursed for travel and other necessary
expenses.  Funding is not provided for substitute teaching personnel.

"The work of the Curriculum Commission is important and demanding.  The
Commission usually meets six times per year with each meeting lasting two
or three days.  Additional time is required to fulfill committee
assignments and prepare for meetings.  Individuals applying for appointment
need to be both knowledgeable and willing to commit the time and effort
required for successful service.

"Applications must be submitted to the State Board of Education Office no
later than the close of business Friday, January 26, 1996.  All
applications will be screened and those candidates selected will be asked
to appear for interviews.  The interviews will be conducted by the State
Board's Screening Committee and are anticipated at the March State Board
meeting.  Announcement of appointments will follow shortly thereafter.

"For copies of the application form, please contact: State Board of
Education, POB 944272, Sacramento CA 94244-2720; phone= (916) 657-5478;
fax= (916) 653-7016.  For information about the duties and responsibilities
of the Curriculum Commission, please call the Curriculum Frameworks and
