A Year Apart: Adapting Curricula for a Pandemic--Educational Resources in U.S. K-12 Education, 2021
Seaman, Julia E.; Seaman, Jeff
Bay View Analytics
This study is one in a series on K-12 curricula discovery, selection, and adoption processes in the U.S. The COVID-19 pandemic sparked significant changes in how classes were taught and curriculum materials were sourced, and this survey's focus shifted to studying that impact. The pandemic-induced move to remote instruction was only possible because school districts had already embraced online-supported activities. This study includes a detailed examination of open educational resources (OER) awareness and OER adoption rates as part of the broader questions surrounding digital curricula decisions. Additionally, previous surveys indicated that the availability and quality of professional development materials had a measurable impact on teacher adoption and sentiment for curricula. As a result, the survey asks about the perceived effectiveness of professional development on the curricula, pedagogical practices, and health and safety issues during the pandemic. The survey examines the curricula use and choices of K-12 schools and districts during the COVID-19 pandemic. This year's survey asked teachers and administrators about their current teaching situation (in-person and/or remote), whether they made any adaptations to the current pandemic curricula, and whether they integrated any digital materials into their curricula.
