Texas IMRA 2025

Texas 2025 IMRA Cycle

Texas has made big changes to how instructional materials are reviewed and approved in recent years, and those changes are now fully shaping the 2025 IMRA cycle. Whether you have submitted before or are preparing for your first round, it’s important to know what’s under review, when key deadlines hit, and what reviewers will be looking for. Staying ahead of those details helps you focus on getting your materials approved and into classrooms.

The 2025 IMRA cycle includes reviews for:

For 2025, reviewers will be looking at:

K–6 full-subject, Tier-one English Language Arts & Reading (ELAR)
K–6 full-subject, Tier-one Spanish Language Arts & Reading (SLAR)
K–3 partial-subject, Tier-one English and Spanish phonics
K–12 full-subject, Tier-one and supplemental Mathematics

If your materials fall into one of those buckets, you will want to be ahead of the curve.

What this Means for Publishers

The IMRA process isn’t just a formality. It is designed to make sure every instructional resource used in Texas classrooms truly supports student learning. Reviewers will carefully examine your materials to confirm they meet several key requirements:

Standards Alignment
Your content must clearly connect to the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) and English Language Proficiency Standards (ELPS).

Coverage and Quality
Materials are reviewed for age-appropriate scope, sequence, clarity, and alignment to SBOE-approved rubrics.

Documentation
Publishers need detailed alignment tables and correlation charts that show how each standard is addressed.

Third-Party Review
Independent validation strengthens your submission and give reviewers and districts added confidence.
