EngageNY is among the most commonly used curriculum materials for mathematics and English language arts (ELA).

• EngageNY was heavily used in New York state during the period of our analysis, but materials were accessed across the country.
• Teachers' use of EngageNY was particularly high in states that have adopted Common Core or similar standards.
• EngageNY mathematics materials were used at three times the rate of ELA materials across the country. However, ELA teachers may have used EngageNY more comprehensively than mathematics teachers.

High use of EngageNY was at least partly driven by educators' desire to help students meet state standards.

• Between 80 and 90 percent of teachers indicated that their district either required or recommended its use.
• State standards and district assessments influenced ELA teachers' use of EngageNY more than their use of other materials.
• While the open nature of EngageNY may encourage use, teachers did not cite "availability" more often as an influence for their use compared with other materials.

EngageNY gives students more opportunities to engage in standards-aligned practices compared with other materials.

• Mathematics teachers were more likely to indicate that EngageNY provided their students with opportunities to explain and justify their work and address goals with equal time and intensity compared with their other main instructional materials.
• ELA teachers were more likely to indicate that EngageNY provided their students with opportunities to read nonfiction texts of sufficient complexity and connect literacy instruction to other content, among other standards-aligned practices.
