EdChoice
This poll was conducted between March 28, 2023-April 3, 2024 among a sample of 1031 Teachers. The interviews were conducted online. Results based on the full survey have a measure of precision of plus or minus 3.10 percentage points. Among the key findings are: (1) Generally, teachers report the highest satisfaction in relationships with family members. They are least satisfied with their physical and mental health. Two-thirds of teachers feel a "sense of purpose" and "hopeful" when thinking about the future. Nearly 1 in 3 say they feel "overwhelmed."; (2) Teachers' optimism for K-12 education has hit the lowest point in 4 years. Positive feelings about the direction of K-12 education have continued to fall sharply at the national, state, and local levels; and (3) This spring, teachers across school types express high levels of pessimism about the teaching profession. The proportion of teachers who would recommend the teaching profession has continued to fall to substantially lower levels. This report highlights findings pertaining to: (1) Views on K-12 Education; (2) Teaching Profession and Experiences; (3) Views on Technologies , Social Media; (4) School Choice Policies; and (5) Survey Profile and Demographics.
