Teacher & Principal School Report: Equity in Education
Scholastic Inc.
A national survey of 4,721 public school educators was conducted by YouGov between July 22, 2016 and August 26, 2016, via an email-to-online survey method. Lists of teachers and principals were sourced from Market Data Retrieval's (MDR) database of public school Pre-K-12 teachers and principals. A total of 3,694 teachers (including 76 school librarians) and 1,027 principals (including 146 vice principals) completed the survey. When data is presented among teachers, librarians are included unless otherwise specified. When the term "educators" is used to describe charts, tables and data findings, Scholastic is referencing teachers, librarians and principals combined. This research offers a close look at the barriers to equity in education, educators' priorities around funding and their substantial personal spending for students and classrooms, the importance of establishing school partnerships with families and communities, and educators' commitment to their students and to growing as professionals. The following are appended: (1) Demographics of Sample; and (2) Expanded Survey Results. [For the other report in the series, "Teacher & Principal School Report: Focus on Literacy," see ED594417.]
