The challenge to find and keep great teachers is at an all-time high.
So we set out to find what makes K-12 teachers happy.
At Alludo, we’re always seeking to better understand educators so we can create things that will solve their problems and help them serve students better – especially as it relates to professional learning.
The Alludo Teacher Happiness Survey was aimed at currently employed U.S. teachers from school districts using Alludo and non-Alludo districts nationwide. We received more than 800 qualified responses overall and hundreds from each segment.
We hope this report helps education leaders and administrators nationwide prioritize key initiatives that could make a difference for their teachers in both the near-term and long-term.
