Results

More than 8,642 FCPS educators (58 percent of all educators from the school district) participated in the working conditions survey. Data reports are now available for all schools that have achieved at least a 35 percent response rate with a minimum of five faculty members responding to the survey.

Beyond these school-level data results, an initial analysis of district-wide trends will also be available on this site in the near future.

While more analyses remain, previous research from across the country demonstrates that good teaching and learning conditions prove essential to student success and teacher retention. By documenting and analyzing how teachers and principals view critical teaching and learning conditions, the FCPS Working Conditions initiative will help will help educators, community members and policymakers take steps to improve student learning and teacher retention across the district.

Using the Data

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. Toward that end, 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.

Partners

A collection of stakeholder groups representing teachers, superintendents, community and business groups (listed on left side of this page), worked collectively with The New Teacher Center at the University of California at Santa Cruz (NTC) to conduct the survey. 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.
