Current and future decisions to leave the field of education affect the quality of schools and the next generations of learners, teachers and school leaders in the nation. Physical and verbal violence directed against teachers may be exacerbating reports of high stress, transfers and leaving the profession. This technical report outlines key initial findings from the American Psychological Association (APA) Task Force's Violence Against Educators and School Personnel survey. The APA Task Force administered an online survey to teachers and other school personnel (i.e., staff, social workers, psychologists, and administrators) across the United States (U.S.) during the 2020-2021 school year. This report specifically captures interests and plans to quit or transfer, victimization experiences, perceptions of safety, and recommendations during the COVID-19 pandemic from about 15,000 participants. As teachers and schools learn to adjust to the realities of education during COVID, it is important to understand school safety concerns and how to best address them to create an effective and safe environment for students, teachers, and school staff.
