What you said about our materials (and what’s next)
Last month, we sent out our annual teacher survey. Below, we've broken down some of the results - along with how Skew The Script is responding to the feedback. Note: These results come from a non-random sample (teachers on our email list who chose to fill out the survey).
Questions about Student Experience
Percent of teachers who said…
Students find the materials engaging - 98.7%
Lessons are appropriately challenging for most students - 93.0%
(Note: Some respondents indicated that they didn’t use the materials frequently enough to have an opinion on these questions. These respondents are not considered in the above calculations)
Questions about Teacher Experience
Percent of teachers who said…
The materials are easy to use - 74.7%
The materials are difficult to use - 1.2%
Gave a 9 or 10 on a 1-10 scale for “How likely would you be to recommend STS to a friend or colleague?” - 70.0%
Questions about Possible Additions / Improvements
Percent of teachers who said…
Adding mastery check problems for each lesson would be helpful - 89.2%
Including additional teacher notes would be useful - 90.9% identified one or more ways that teacher notes would be useful
They’d be interested in using a high school statistics curriculum from Skew The Script (for on-level stats courses) - 54.5%
They’d be interested in using a precalculus curriculum from Skew The Script - 56.3%
How We’re Responding
1) New courses are coming!
A revised AP Statistics curriculum, made to completely align to the revised course standards (the revised CED), will be published in June for use in 2026-27.
A new High School Statistics curriculum, for on-level statistics courses, is coming this June for use in 2026-27.
2) We are providing mastery check problems for all of the new courses.
3) We’re providing more in-depth teacher notes, which will include the most popular resources requested by teachers in the survey.
4) We’re beginning work on a Precalculus curriculum, with a target release date of Spring/Summer 2027 (for use in School Year 2027-28).
To encourage survey participation, we held a random lottery, offering gift cards to randomly selected survey respondents. Congratulations to the winners!

Beyond the quantitative responses we’ve included above, the survey had options for teachers to share other thoughts about what they like about using Skew The Script and how to make it better. These comments provide us with valuable information that we will use as we put the finishing touches on the new courses and we are thankful for the time responders took to offer us this insight.
Skew The Script has grown so much in the last several years, but one thing remains true: We can't do what we do without the support of the amazing community of teachers who choose to bring our relevant lessons to their classrooms every day. Thank you for your support and your insights. Your feedback is always welcome and appreciated.
Let’s skew it!
