Leveraging High-Quality Data for Informed Decision-Making

Hi, Friend,

 

As districts across the country gear up for another cycle of instructional materials selection, having clear and accessible data on what’s being used—and where—is more valuable than ever. This year’s NAEP scores underscored persistent gaps in student achievement, reinforcing the urgency of ensuring every classroom has access to high-quality instructional materials that can truly support learning recovery and growth. 

 

Transparent curriculum data helps education leaders make informed decisions that align with their district’s goals, addressing disparities and equipping students and teachers with the resources they need to succeed.

 

By surfacing trends in curriculum adoption, this information empowers district and state leaders to identify gaps, assess impact, and make strategic investments in materials that drive meaningful outcomes. Whether refining professional learning plans, evaluating student achievement trends, or making a case for increased funding, accessible data turns guesswork into strategy—helping educators navigate the selection process with confidence.

 

Now more than ever, clear insights into curriculum choices can be a powerful tool for change.
