A new technical report provides information about the sample, survey instrument, and resultant data for the American Instructional Resources Surveys (AIRS) that were administered to principals and teachers in spring 2019 via RAND's American Educator Panels. The AIRS focused on instructional resources used and supported in English language arts, mathematics, and science K–12 classrooms across the United States. Follow up RAND reports will provide key findings and recommendations to inform policy and practice related to use of instructional resources.
When planning lessons, more than half of teachers said they consult Teachers Pay Teachers, a popular site for online resources some experts have said are not always well-aligned with academic standards. Just over 40% said they conduct Google searches, about a quarter use Pinterest, and less than a fifth consult the Common Core standards or their state education agency websites.
