Teachers' instruction is influenced by a multitude of factors, such as state standards, curriculum materials, student needs, world events, and district or school policies. Since spring 2021, some teachers have had to consider a new factor: state policies that limit instruction about social and political topics, such as those related to race, gender, or sexual orientation. In this report, the authors present findings from a survey administered in January and February 2024 to teachers across the United States. The survey asked teachers about their instruction on social and political topics, including those that are and are not subject to state restrictions. The authors explore teachers' responses by school grade level, subject taught, and state policy context.
