Knowledge of the state's instructional material landscape can improve support for districts and schools
By understanding the current landscape of instructional material selection, the PED is able to support district and school leaders in evaluating, selecting, and implementing HQIM. In addition, this information can be used by district and school leaders, regional educational cooperatives, educator preparation programs, and professional learning providers to better support the constituents they serve in support of HQIM. This data is based on the districts' annual reporting of their expenditures for core instructional materials. This Instructional Material Search Tool will be updated annually.
