Hi Friend,
When it comes to the quality of curriculum used in K-12 classrooms throughout the United States, there are concerning realities, particularly for those students who are historically marginalized.
Our recent report delves into the state of K-8 math curriculum, revealing that only 36% of districts in the Impact Core - our novel dataset - have chosen exclusively high-quality math curriculum for elementary school, and 22% for middle school. However, amidst these challenges, a 'red sunset' looms on the horizon, indicating potential positive shifts.
Moving into 2024, we wonder: What changes can we expect to see in California as a result of their 2025 math adoption? How might Texas's incentives reshape district curriculum choices?
California's recently released math framework emphasizes equitable and engaging instructional materials, set to shape the 2025 adoption list. In Texas, legislative changes promise incentives for districts selecting state-approved materials, with a projected 81% adoption rate within three years. With 153 Impact Core districts in California and 117 in Texas, these changes could create a ripple effect, impacting a substantial portion of the K-12 education market.
Join us in exploring these shifts over the coming years with their potential to expand high-quality math materials nationwide.
