Bluebonnet Learning Pilot Instructional Materials

Bluebonnet Learning pilot instructional materials are state developed, aligned with state standards, and designed specifically for Texas students. Pilot instructional materials have not yet been approved through the State Board of Education’s (SBOE) Instructional Materials Review and Approval (IMRA) process. The purpose of piloting is to give school districts an opportunity to implement new instructional materials and provide meaningful feedback that can help improve the final version of the materials, implementation supports, and digital access as part of TEA's process of continuous improvement.

Pilot instructional materials are subject to approval by the SBOE through the IMRA process and, pending approval, will be available for purchase and implementation in the school year.

For school year 2025–26, the following pilot instructional materials will be available for classroom implementation: 

  • Aprendizaje Bluebonnet Matemáticas K–5 | Bluebonnet Learning K–5 Math (Spanish)
  • Aprendizaje Bluebonnet Destrezas Fundamentales K–2 |Bluebonnet Learning K–2 Foundational Skills (Spanish)
  • Aprendizaje Bluebonnet Spanish Artes del lenguaje y lectura K–5 | Bluebonnet Learning K–5 Spanish Language Arts and Reading (SLAR)

There are no planned Bluebonnet Learning pilots for school years 2026–27 or 2027–28. The following list includes future pilot instructional materials plans: 

School Years 2028–29 and 2029–30*

  • Bluebonnet Learning K–5 Integrated (English and Spanish)

TEA will submit Spanish instructional materials that align with the English versions of Bluebonnet Learning K–5 Math and Bluebonnet Learning K–5 RLA, entitled Aprendizaje Bluebonnet, to IMRA Cycle 2025. The pilot Bluebonnet Learning K–5 Spanish Language Arts and Reading (SLAR) and K–5 Math Spanish Instructional Materials will be available in spring 2025 for classroom implementation in school year 2025–26. 

Bluebonnet Learning Spanish Pilot instructional materials will be made available in spring 2025 to Texas school districts or open enrollment charters wishing to pilot one or more Spanish products in school year 2025–26.  

Texas school districts interested in piloting materials can do so, provided they 1) agree to provide feedback on the materials and implementation and 2) agree to the pilot licensing restrictions. Once a school district's participation request and acknowledgments are received, access to the designated materials will be granted.

School systems interested in participating in the Bluebonnet Learning Spanish Pilot must submit an application by June 13, 2025.

TEA is hosting information sessions about Bluebonnet Learning Spanish Pilot instructional materials for interested school systems. The information sessions are webinars hosted via Zoom, and registration is required. 

Sample units from Aprendizaje Bluebonnet pilot instructional materials are available for public viewing. Sample units include one unit from K–5 Math Spanish, three units from K–5 SLAR, and one unit from K–3 Spanish Foundational Skills.

Delivery Timelines

TEA is committed to making the Spanish pilot instructional materials available in print to districts at the start of the 2025–26 school year. However, since the pilot materials are still in development, shipments may arrive in batches throughout the school year. Delivery would follow the scope and sequence of each instructional material. 

As the timelines become more defined, print material vendors will communicate expected delivery timelines of hard copy materials with participating school systems.

Districts participating in the Strong Foundations Implementation (SFI) grant will receive support from Implementation and Product Advisors to implement Bluebonnet Learning instructional materials. These materials will be largely applicable to the Spanish pilot materials; however, examples of the Spanish language materials in the turnkey resources provided by these advisors to local school systems will be limited.

Districts not in the SFI grant are welcome to partner with any approved providers on the State Approved Professional Learning (SAPL) list to receive similar support.
