2017 National Instructional Materials Adoption Scorecard and 2018 Outlook

In terms of selling instructional content to schools, the division of the U.S. PreK-12 school market into instructional materials adoption states and open territories has been one of the most important considerations for educational publishers in devising development, marketing and sales strategies for instructional materials.

One of the major reasons the textbook adoption market has been crucial to publishers’ business plans is the almost guaranteed demand created when states approve instructional materials programs that school districts then purchase.

Simba Information began tracking state instructional materials adoptions because they provide the most concrete picture of trends in sales of instructional materials. Simba Information’s 2017 National Instructional Materials Adoption Scorecard and 2018 Outlook is an essential resource for education publishers and edtech companies that need objective data to assess the competitive landscape and build effective growth strategies.

The 2017 edition of this annual report provides information on the PreK-12 education landscape in which instructional materials adoptions take place, background on the adoption process, and examines in detail the results of specific state adoptions Simba tracked in 2017. Specifically in 2017, one of the low points in the adoption cycle, Simba focused on social studies adoptions and the second year of the California English language arts adoption.

In addition to a breakdown of sales by grade levels, the report also includes an annual publisher scorecard, changes affecting the adoption process and a state-by-state calendar of adoption market opportunities from 2018 through 2021.

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.
