Wyoming provides a suite of resources through Open Range Wyoming, the state’s OER Commons hub, which prioritizes “creating and sharing high-quality units, lessons, and resources that have been aligned to current Wyoming State Content Standards”, some of which are rated green by EdReports. New Jersey’s ESSER Plan mentions access to high-quality digital literacy resources, but doesn’t address high-quality academic materials. New Jersey lists standards and guidance for “high quality, relevant and timely professional learning experiences” on its website. New Jersey has a Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Educational Resources web page that “can be used to develop curricula, facilitate professional learning and engage community stakeholders in conversations on incorporating diversity and inclusion throughout the kindergarten through twelfth-grade learning environment” in response to new legislative requirements. New Jersey also partners with OpenSciEd on the expansion of quality middle school science materials. New Jersey does not review or recommend curricular materials, but it does provide standards for each subject area and curriculum resources such as model curriculum and curriculum frameworks on its website. Utah’s ESSER Plan identifies a partial use of funds to reinforce the State Board of Education’s emphasis on high-quality instructional practices. The state’s landing page also links to the State Instructional Materials Review Association (SIMRA), which is made up of several states who collaborate to evaluate instructional materials and provides information on selecting high quality materials.Īlthough Utah does not offer robust high quality professional learning resources, the Utah Education Network’s Utah Effective Teaching Standards can help teachers design and implement effective lessons.

Utah also supports the Utah Education Network, an open educational resource that provides instructional materials for free. ![]() Some of the programs listed by the state are rated green on EdReports. We look forward to more great things in the future.Districts in Utah maintain local authority in the choice of instructional materials, although the state provides a large hub of recommended curriculum resources on its Recommended Instructional Materials System (RIMS). We are grateful to our #EdReportsNetwork and to you all for your ongoing commitment and support. We also know that we could have never reached nearly 16 million students without the dedication of our 900+ educator reviewers who have improved materials for the next generation of students. With the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Funds (ESSER) set to expire soon, there has never been a more important time to invest in quality curriculum, and the ongoing supports teachers need to implement programs well. Nearly a quarter of teachers report having no curriculum-aligned professional learning. Even with the growing availability of high-quality programs, fewer than a third of ELA materials and less than half of mathematics materials used in classrooms are standards aligned. While we are proud of what we have accomplished in the past eight years, we know so much more needs to be done. In our latest annual report, we shine a light on our work with states to better signal the importance of high-quality curriculum, how we partner with districts to lead comprehensive adoption processes, and our vision for the next five years as we strive to ensure all students have access to the instructional materials necessary to prepare them for college, careers, and beyond. And more instructional materials than ever before met EdReports’ expectations for alignment and usability. ![]() ![]() To date, over 1,400 districts, representing nearly 16 million students, are using EdReports to make curriculum decisions. ![]() Schools were open and millions of students were able to return to in-person learning.
