2018 National Instructional Materials Adoption Scorecard and 2019 Outlook

Instructional materials adoption is a critical factor for education publishers to understand. One reason the adoption market has been crucial to publishers’ business plans is the almost guaranteed demand created when states approve a list of instructional materials programs that school districts then purchase.

Simba Information’s 2018 National Instructional Materials Adoption Scorecard and 2019 Outlook provides information on the PreK-12 education landscape in which instructional materials adoptions take place, offers background on the adoption process, and examines in detail the results of specific state adoptions Simba tracked in 2018. Simba also previews the landscape of and trends in instructional materials adoptions in 2019 and beyond.

Specifically in 2018, one of the low points in the adoption cycle, Simba focused on the K-12 science adoptions in Florida and Tennessee and K-8 social studies purchasing in California. Sales in North Carolina, where schools continued to buy primarily science and social studies in the absence of new adoption, also were provided.

The report also discusses changes affecting the adoption process and includes the annual publisher scorecard and a state-by-state calendar of adoption market opportunities from 2019 through 2022.

For this report, Simba conducted exclusive research in these adoption states, compiling data from state agencies and individual school districts. The data and analysis provided in this report will help education publishing companies build effective strategic plans and navigate market shifts

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
