Using the Data

Research has proven that positive teaching conditions are essential to creating schools where teachers and administrators want to work and where students thrive.  The Working Conditions Survey provides data to individual schools and the district about whether educators have supportive school environments where educators are valued, trusted, and have the time and ability to collaborate and improve instruction.

The success of the FCPS Working Conditions Initiative depends on the extent to which school communities can use the resulting data to inform real school improvement processes. The New Teacher Center has created a resources page to help schools and communities engage in ongoing and meaningful conversations about potential strategies to improve teaching and learning conditions.

NTC is a nonpartisan organization with a mission to support the development of an effective, dedicated and inspired teaching force. NTC also has extensive experience conducting similar surveys across the country.
