Manitoba Calls
Calls for learning resources are requests to publishers, producers and distributors for the submission of learning resources to support new and revised Manitoba curricula.
Time Specific
Manitoba calls for learning resources are time specific. The purpose of time specific calls is to establish a collection of Manitoba Recommended learning resources for new and revised curricula. The schedule of time specific calls is linked to the curricula renewal/revision process for Manitoba Education, Citizenship and Youth.
Submission forms, guidelines and requirements are detailed in time specific call(s) for learning resources. Time specific calls for learning Resources are posted as required.

Submission Terms
Manitoba Education, Citizenship and Youth has the right of refusal based on lack of need or lack of fit with Manitoba criteria for learning resources submissions.
Manitoba Education, Citizenship and Youth will not purchase resources being considered for Manitoba Recommended designation. If designated as Manitoba Recommended, the Department will retain the evaluation copies submitted for the Department’s Instructional Resources Unit Library and for a field set for the subject consultant for use with Manitoba teachers. Learning resources selected as Manitoba Recommended will be listed in the Manitoba Text Book Bureau Catalogue and in annotated bibliographies accessible to all Manitoba schools.
Time specific calls for learning resources and the continuous submission process for learning resources do not constitute an offer to contract. Therefore, there is no requirement for Manitoba Education, Citizenship and Youth to accept any resources submitted which do not meet the evaluation criteria. Manitoba Education, Citizenship and Youth reserves the right to manage the learning resource selection process in a way that is fiscally responsible.
