“…Another recommendation relates to differences in perspectives about the NGSS-and what standards teachers and schools are using-across states. While our study showed minimal variability across states, the findings from the data collected in the AIRS (Doan et al, 2020) demonstrates that many teachers may see themselves as teaching the NGSS, even if they are in a state that neither adopted nor adapted their standards based on the NGSS. While not explicitly related to public support for the NGSS, what standards teachers see themselves and their school as teaching may have a strong bearing on their support for the reform.…”

System-wide educational reforms are difficult to implement in the United States, but despite the difficulties, reforms can be successful, particularly when they are associated with broad public support. This study reports on the nature of the public sentiment expressed about a nationwide science education reform effort, the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). Through the use of data science techniques to measure the sentiment of posts on Twitter about the NGSS (N = 565,283), we found that public sentiment about the NGSS is positive, with only 11 negative posts for every 100 positive posts. In contrast to findings from past research and public opinion polling on the Common Core State Standards, sentiment about the NGSS has become more positive over time—and was especially positive for teachers. We discuss what this positive sentiment may indicate about the success of the NGSS in light of opposition to the Common Core State Standards.

“…During the pandemic, teacher leavers in our sample reported working an average of 52 hours per week, and one-third of pandemic teachers said that they worked 56 hours or more per week during COVID-19. Our survey data corroborate findings from other recent teacher surveys that have found that teachers' working hours have increased during the pandemic (Diliberti and Kaufman, 2020;Doan et al, 2020).…”

The American Educator Panels are nationally representative samples of teachers, school leaders, and district leaders across the country. In the reports that accompany this technical documentation, we sampled from the American Teacher Panel (ATP) to administer the State of the American Teacher (SoT) survey. We also sampled from the American School Leader Panel (ASLP) to administer the State of the American Principal (SoP) survey. The SoT and SoP surveys examine teachers' and principals' reports on several topics. Topics in the SoT and SoP surveys included teachers' and principals' well-being (e.g., job-related stress, depression, burnout); school climate (e.g., physical safety; teacher/principal voice; staff diversity, equity, and inclusion); teachers' and principals' working conditions this school year (e.g., instructional mode; hours worked; coronavirus disease 2019 [COVID-19] mitigation policies; beliefs about the teaching of race, racism, and bias); and teachers' and principals' careers as educators (e.g., preparation, retention, decisions to exit). Teachers were also asked about policies that they believed would be effective for recruiting, hiring, and retaining educators of color. Principals were also asked a series of questions about their preparation to respond to political topics in their schools.We sampled from RAND's American Life Panel (ALP) to administer a companion survey to working adults in the general U.S. population that addressed topics that are similar to those in the SoT and SoP surveys. In addition, we convened a virtual panel of 14 experts in teacher workforce policy and practice to prioritize the recruitment and retention policies that are most important and practical for districts, schools of education, or state education agencies to enact in the short and long term.In this technical report, we provide more detail about the data, samples, and methodology for the SoT, SoP, and ALP companion survey. We also present the results of the survey questions. The SoT survey was completed by 2,360 ATP members, the SoP survey was completed by 1,540 ASLP members, and the ALP companion survey was administered to 500 ALP members in January and February 2022. We also describe attendance and the format of the virtual expert panel on diversifying the teacher workforce.
