| Abstract: |
In this report, the authors use data from six years of the American Instructional Resources Survey, from 2019 to 2024, to track instructional material use among kindergarten through grade 12 (K-12) English language arts, mathematics, and science teachers. The authors track (1) the rate at which teachers in these subjects reported using new instructional materials, (2) how many materials teachers reported using, and (3) how teachers reported modifying those materials. The authors also link teachers' perceptions of school leaders and professional learning, among other elements of instructional systems, with teachers' use of instructional materials. The authors provide researchers, policymakers at state departments of education, and school and district leaders with insight into the state of instructional material use among K-12 teachers and offer suggestions for future improvements to instructional materials use. |
