Getting Students to and through Advanced Math: Which Students Have Access and How State and District Leaders Can Help Address Challenges. American Educator Panels. Research Brief. RB-A827-1

To explore and identify gaps in students' opportunities to take and prepare for advanced math since the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, RAND Corporation researchers conducted a nationally representative survey of teachers and principals in spring 2022. The researchers focused on two key ingredients that enable equitable student access to advanced math: access to advanced math courses and early algebra I and exposure to grade-level math content. The survey asked educators about their schools' advanced math offerings, how frequently they skipped standards-aligned math content, and the challenges they faced in providing high-quality standards-aligned math instruction after the disruptions to schooling during the COVID-19 pandemic. Together, educators' responses highlight ways that school-, district-, and state-level education leaders can improve student access to and preparation for advanced mathematics for all student groups. Educators' responses also reinforce the need to provide teachers with additional supports. This brief describes work done in RAND Education and Labor and documented in "Getting Students to (and Through) Advanced Math: Where Course Offerings and Content Are Not Adding Up."
