Abstract: U.S. students have lost significant learning in mathematics and other subjects since the start of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in early 2020. The 2022 National Assessment of Educational Progress mathematics scores for students in grades 4 and 8 reflected record declines; the largest decreases were for students experiencing poverty and students of color. The COVID-19 pandemic is just the most recent force widening mathematics achievement gaps. Other obstacles to high-quality mathematics learning for all students include inequitable access to and participation in rigorous mathematics courses, tracking of students in classes based on their achievement level, and inadequate mathematics instructional materials and supports for teachers. To address critical gaps in understanding how to promote high-quality, equitable mathematics education, RAND researchers administer the American Mathematics Educator Study (AMES) surveys annually to K-12 public school teachers and principals. Findings across these surveys are intended to inform how teacher preparation, professional learning resources, and course and curriculum access shape students' opportunities to learn mathematics. This technical report presents detailed information about the sample, survey instruments, and resultant data for the 2025 AMES surveys.
