Scholastic Inc. (NASDAQ: SCHL) and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation released Primary Sources: America’s Teachers on the Teaching Profession<\/strong>, the second landmark report presenting the results of a national survey of more than 10,000 public school teachers in grades pre-K to 12. The survey is a follow-up to the original Primary Sources report released in 2010, which continues to be noted as the largest-ever national survey of America’s teachers.<\/p>\n

The 2012 Primary Sources<\/em> report reveals teachers’ thoughtful, nuanced views on both their daily practice and critical issues at the heart of education reform.\u00a0 Key findings reveal:<\/p>\n

 
\n–Challenges facing students are significant and growing: 46% of veteran teachers say they are seeing fewer students prepared for challenging work than when they began teaching in their current schools. 56% are seeing more students living in poverty, and 49% are seeing more students coming to school hungry.<\/p>\n

–Teachers welcome and are eager for more frequent evaluation of their practice from school leaders, peers and even students.\u00a0 Plus, they welcome feedback from a variety of sources.<\/p>\n

–Teachers are open to tenure reform: 80% percent of teachers agree that tenure should be regularly reevaluated, and on average, teachers say that consideration for receiving tenure should happen after 5.4 years of teaching.<\/p>\n

–Teachers work an average of 10 hours, 40 minutes per workday, three hours and 20 minutes longer than the average required teacher workday nationwide.<\/p>\n

–Standardized tests do not reflect student skill: Only 45% of teachers say their students take these tests seriously and perform on them to the best of their ability.<\/p>\n

–Family involvement is the highest ranked factor for improving student achievement with 98% of teachers in agreement that it has a strong or very strong impact on student academic success.\u00a0\u00a0 At the same time, 47% of veteran teachers report lower parental participation in their schools.<\/p>\n

-The majority of teachers are satisfied in their jobs: 89% percent of teachers are either very satisfied (42%) or satisfied (47%) in their jobs and only 16% of teachers plan on leaving teaching. MetLife Foundation’s recent survey<\/a> of 1,000 teachers had similar findings; however, their tracking data indicates that the percentage of “very satisfied” is lower than in previous years.<\/p>\n

Due to the size and scope of the study, Primary Sources<\/em> allows for analysis of teachers’ views by grade taught, geography, income-level, years of experience and more. In addition, the questionnaire tracked teachers’ answers to several questions from the original Primary Sources: America’s Teachers on America’s Schools.<\/em><\/p>\n
