Survey findings summarize participation from 1,205 teachers and 487 administrators across all 50 states, including effects of the COVID-19 period. Key results address the extent of in-person teaching alongside widespread use of digital tools, growth in adoption of digital textbooks, and reliance on multiple material sources such as self-made resources.

This report would not be possible without their partnership and guidance. Next, we are very grateful to the Online Learning Consortium; they served as our grant administrator and provided considerable support throughout the project stages.  \nWe are grateful to the teachers and administrators who took the time to respond to our surveys, as this project simply would not be possible without our respondents. We review every response and read every submitted comment. Some of those comments are included in this report, with permission from the respondent. Each quote is as close to the original as possible; the only changes made were to remove personally identifying information, or to correct obvious typos.  \nThe project has benefited greatly from the open education community and K- 12 educational communities. These groups have helped guide our research and analyses to ensure the work will help answer their open questions.  \nThis report wo","cbCairBKqB87B5m3","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairBKqB87B5m3","pdf",2104730,44,"English","# Executive Summary\n## In-person and remote teaching\n## Textbook formats\n## Curricula sources\n## Curricula quality\n## Professional development\n## OER and licensing awareness\n# Methodology\n## Definitions\n# Appendix Tables","[{\"question\":\"What is the focus of the 2023 curricula report?\",\"answer\":\"It tracks curricula discovery, selection, and adoption processes in U.S. K-12 education, including how instructional materials changed in the wake of COVID-19 and the shift between digital and in-class resources.\"},{\"question\":\"How were teachers and administrators surveyed in 2023?\",\"answer\":\"The survey was conducted in April 2023 and included 1,205 teachers and 487 administrators from all 50 states.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the report say about digital tools and digital textbooks?\",\"answer\":\"Even though most teachers teach fully in-person, many incorporate digital tools and materials.
