Instructional materials are important for Mississippi teachers. With High-Quality Instructional Materials, they can bring lessons to life and inspire their students to learn and grow.
TEACHING IS CHALLENGING; HIGH-QUALITY MATERIALS CAN MAKE IT EASIER.
Many schools do not provide teachers with instructional materials that meet students’ needs, and teachers must fill the gaps. Seventy-three percent of U.S. teachers say they rely on materials found online more than on hardcover textbooks. Furthermore, over ninety-three percent of teachers report frequently using their own or locally developed resources.
