Cross State Analyses of Results

TELL Survey. New Teacher Center (NTC) worked collaboratively with 11 state coalitions—including governors, state education agencies, teacher associations, other stakeholder groups, and practitioners—to implement the Teaching, Empowering, Leading and Learning Survey (TELL) statewide from the spring of 2013 to the spring of The TELL survey is a full population survey of school- based licensed educators designed to report perceptions about the presence of teaching and learning conditions that research has shown increase student learning and teacher retention.

Cross state comparisons. This presentation compares state-level TELL survey results from Colorado, Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Tennessee, and Vermont.

TELL Survey Constructs Time—Available time to plan, collaborate, provide instruction, and eliminate barriers in order to maximize instructional time during the school day Facilities and Resources—Availability of instructional, technology, office, communication, and school resources to teachers Community Support and Involvement—Community and parent/guardian communication and influence in the school Managing Student Conduct—Policies and practices to address student conduct issues and ensure a safe school environment

TELL Survey Constructs. Teacher Leadership—Teacher involvement in decisions that impact classroom and school practices School Leadership—The ability of school leadership to create trusting, supportive environments and address teacher concerns Professional Development—Availability and quality of learning opportunities for educators to enhance their teaching Instructional Practices and Support—Data and support available to teachers to improve instruction and student learning

Response rate by state

Finding #1: Facilities and Resources. Overall, educators across states agree they have the resources and supplies necessary to support learning.

Agreement on Select survey Items Related to Facilities and Resources.

Implications: Research shows that many factors contribute to student performance and teacher retention and some of these factors are easier to influence than others. Improving facilities can impact both student performance and teacher retention and may be more easily accomplished compared to some other areas. For example, facilities improvements such as equipping a school with wireless internet access may be a one-time investment that lasts for many years and could be supplemented by state or federal funding.

Finding # 2: School Leadership Educator perceptions about the support provided by school leaders differ widely across states. TN, KY, and NC rated the School Leadership area (defined on the TELL survey as any individual, group, or team that makes decisions about the direction of the school) the highest among the states.

Agreement on Select Survey Items Related to School Leadership

Implications: It is important to understand how educators’ perceptions of school leadership impact implementation of major initiatives such as Common Core and new teacher evaluation systems. In states where more educators report that their faculty and leadership do not share a common vision, complex reforms may be difficult to implement. Administrators play a critical role in defining areas of focus and building trust as school leaders.

Finding #3: Teacher Leadership. Educators across states report having leadership opportunities for teachers within their schools. Educators in KY, MD, NC, and TN “agree” that teachers provide leadership within their schools and are included in decision making.

Agreement on Select Survey Items Related to Teacher Leadership

Implications TELL survey data consistently demonstrate that educators perceive teachers as having the most decision-making authority in matters related to instructional decisions, highlighting the need for districts and schools to consider the broader roles teachers can play in decision making on school- wide issues such as staffing, budgeting, professional development opportunities, etc. Similar to the area of School Leadership, as districts and schools embark on implementation of major policy changes such as implementing the Common Core and new teacher evaluation systems, having an effective process in place for teacher participation in decision making related to these complex issues at the local level is critical.

Finding: #4: Community support and involvement. Educators across states report the presence of community support and community involvement.

Agreement on Select Survey Items Related to Community Support and Involvement

Implications Given research showing the critical connection between parent and community involvement and student achievement, local districts and schools should closely review data related to this condition to examine how to build on the work already accomplished by schools and further promote shared educational decision-making between schools and communities.

Finding #5: Managing Student Conduct Overall, educators agree that conditions are in place to manage student conduct and support learning.

Agreement on Select Survey Items Related to Managing Student Conduct

Implications Given that most educators perceive they work in safe environments, local systems can leverage existing student behavior-related data (i.e. discipline data) to review and evaluate current policies and practices and revise where appropriate.

Finding #5: Instructional Practices and Support Educators across states indicate they are encouraged to be innovative in the classroom; however, they also report challenges receiving state assessment data in time to inform instructional choices.

Agreement on Select Survey Items Related to Instructional Practices and Support

Implimentations Educators report that teachers have instructional autonomy but are not provided additional supports such as timely data and appropriate assignments to maximize student learning. While some elements such as timeliness of state data are beyond local control, teacher assignment can be within the control of local education agencies, and leaders should look for opportunities to maximize teacher backgrounds.

Finding #6: Professional Development A majority of educators across states agree that professional development is aligned with school improvement plans; however, fewer agree that professional development is differentiated or evaluated, and state responses vary widely for this area overall.

Agreement on Select Survey Items Related to Professional Development

Implications While teachers are asked to provide very specific and differentiated instruction to students as well as measure the impact of the instruction, there is a dearth of research on supporting differentiated professional development for teachers. As a starting point, local education agencies may consider how the professional learning communities that largely exist across schools can be used as an organizational structure to facilitate differentiated learning for teachers.

Finding: #7: Time Across statewide participants, educators view Time as the condition with the most constraints.

Average Rate of Agreement by Items Related to Time by State

Implications Educators across states indicate difficulty balancing the demands of rigorous accountability systems with meeting the needs of diverse learners. These data show that many educators responding to the TELL survey do not perceive that they have sufficient time to meet their professional obligations. Specifically, educators report being burdened by routine paperwork. Stakeholders should consider carefully examining scheduling, use of planning time, and use of non-instructional time to maximize shared learning.

Summary: Almost 380,000 educators responded to the TELL survey across the 11 states included in this report. In summary, educators in these states agree that positive conditions in five of the eight survey areas are present in their schools. Positive conditions in the areas of Instructional Practices, Professional Development, and Time are lacking. Additionally, KY, NC, and TN educators report means that are consistently above the overall average with the exception of the areas of Professional Development and Time.

Across all states, results indicate : Educators report the most positive conditions associated with Facilities and Resources. Educators’ perceptions of School Leadership indicate that, while teachers are held to high standards, there is not an environment of trust in which teachers can raise concerns. Survey respondents also indicate their schools promote Community Support and Involvement as it relates to student learning but also need strategies to ensure engagement.

Across all states, results indicate: Educators perceive they have instructional autonomy in the area of Instructional Practices and Support but lack access to state assessment data in time to impact instructional choices. Additionally, while teachers view professional learning as largely aligned with school improvement planning, they report that it lacks differentiation to meet individual needs and an evaluation component. Educators across the 11 states consistently report that they lack time to collaborate and plan and are burdened with routine paperwork.

Recommendation 1: Support Stakeholders at the State, District, and Local levels in Understanding and Improving Teaching Conditions Establish an oversight committee of policymakers and practitioners to coordinate the development of teaching standards so all stakeholders understand the critical key elements of building a positive school environment. Ensure teaching standards are widely advocated and disseminated across stakeholder groups, including districts and schools. Create trainings and materials to be shared statewide for understanding and implementing state teaching standards.

Recommendation 2: Provide Supports to Help School Leadership Establish Positive Teaching and Learning Conditions in Every School Create clear expectations and/or guidelines for how school leaders can build positive teaching and learning conditions, including strategies for recruiting and retaining teachers. Partner with institutions of higher education to ensure new principal candidates graduate from programs with the knowledge and skills they need to create positive teaching conditions and build trusting, supportive school environments. Provide professional development for principals and other school leaders that supports efforts to create positive teaching and learning conditions.

Recommendation 3: Monitor and Ensure Implementation of Teaching Standards through a Data-Driven Process Create a process for collecting data to monitor implementation of teaching standards, including timelines and avenues for sharing results. Utilize the TELL survey (or other validated surveys measuring similar concepts) at the state, district, and school level to monitor and track teaching standards implementation. Gather, report, and monitor other data sources that influence the teaching and learning conditions in schools to examine educator perceptions and needs.

Recommendation 4: Embed Implementation of Positive Teaching and Learning Conditions in the School Improvement Process Promote the involvement of multiple stakeholder groups, including the broader community, in analysis and improvement of teaching conditions at the local level. a Ensure that teaching conditions data is used as part of the school improvement planning process. a Provide multiple and varied professional development opportunities for school leaders to assess and use their own TELL survey results to inform decisions for school improvement planning. a Recognize schools of varying demographics that have excellent teaching conditions and successful students. a Provide incentives and/or resources for schools that create data-driven plans to improve teaching conditions.
