Such a policy not only helps teachers to achieve program goals, but also helps schools protect the integrity of programs increasingly under pressure from censors, propagandists, and commercial interests. The cornerstone of consistent, pedagogically sound selection practices is a clear, written policy for the selection of materials in the English language arts program.
