Teaching conditions matter for students and for teachers. Understanding that not everyone sees them the same way is important in developing strategies and policies for school improvement.
Purpose Since2002 • Provide additional data for • school and district • improvements. • Inform state level policy.

Time is at a Premium in NC Schools • 55 percent agree that efforts are made to minimize routine paperwork • 59 percent agree that the non instructional time provided is sufficient • 60 percent of principals agree that there is sufficient time to network and collaborate out of the district • 62 percent agree that class sizes are reasonable so that teachers can meet the needs of all students • While 71 percent of educators agree that teachers have time to collaborate, 54 percent spend an hour or less collaborating in an average week
