Instructional materials are highly important for teaching,
especially for inexperienced teachers. Teachers rely on instructional materials
in every aspect of teaching. They need materials for background information on
the subject they are teaching. Young teachers usually have not built up their
expertise whenever they enter into the field. Teachers often use instructional
materials for lesson planning. These materials are also needed by
teachers to assess the knowledge of their students. Teachers often assess
students by assigning tasks,creating projects, and administering exams. Instructional materials are essential
for all of these activities.
Because students spend a significant amount of their classroom
time using instructional materials and because of the large variety of
available materials, both print and nonprint, it is crucial that all materials
be thoroughly evaluated.

certified staff to ensure that the materials in the educational structure
