Over 1,160 teachers responded to the National Education Association-Alaska funded survey that was posted online for three weeks. About 78 percent of the teachers were from urban school districts, and that closely correlates to the 80 percent of the population that lives in urban areas. Questions covered a wide range of topics from teachers’ opinions of the schools to what is affecting students’ learning outside the classroom. “This info is incredibly valuable, and this is the first time it’s ever been developed — it should absolutely be included when they’re making decisions,” Halcro said of lawmakers weighing education reform during the ongoing Legislative session. “The education initiatives put on the table in Juneau would change education more than it has ever been changed in history of Alaska, and they’re doing it with no relevant data.”
