States Are Investing in High-Quality Math Materials. Can They Tell Whether It’s Working?
This second post in the series explores what states need to measure to understand how their HQIM investments are making a difference in student outcomes.
Key Takeaways
- Most states do not systematically track districts in terms of math curricula adoption and use, limiting states’ ability to connect HQIM investments to student outcomes.
- If states build this infrastructure now, they will be positioned to see how achievement shifts following adoption and to identify where gaps remain.
- WestEd is drawing on curriculum use data from multiple states to evaluate how Illustrative Mathematics has affected student test scores over time.
