Status of Education Reform in Public Elementary and Secondary Schools: Teachers' Perspectives

摘要

This report contains information about education reform efforts in U.S. public schools as reported by school teachers through a mail survey. The information has not been independently verified. Because of the survey questions and collection methodology used, results should be interpreted carefully for the following reasons: 1. Since all teachers do not share the same concept of reform, survey questions were designed to be inclusive of a wide variety of reform activities. 2. There may be a tendency for respondents to over-report activities in which they believe they should be engaged. 3. As a Fast Response survey, the questionnaire was brief and could not collect information to judge the accuracy of the teachers reports about their reform efforts.
