2018 Survey Results: Identifying the Educators

Who are the respondents?

Role in School

Forty-nine women and thirty-six men responded. While men are more likely to be administrators, women staff the majority of teaching positions.

School Size and Gender

School Resources

Respondents were asked to rank their school's resources in twelve categories. In general, majorities of the respondents felt that their schools provide ample or sufficient resources in most categories.

Notice that parent participation received the largest number of "limited" responses. Textbooks and curriculum received the largest number of "ample" ratings.

We divided responses by number of students in the school, which revealed some interesting variations. Educators at small schools were more likely to feel that they had limited resources. Educators at every size school felt the need for more parent participation.

Common Curricula

Educators who responded to this survey selected the curriculum their school uses, and filled in additional titles not listed in the survey.

Schools represented here show a strong preference for Christian curriculum, particularly from Anabaptist publishers. In addition to the main publishers in these groups, schools supplement with a variety of curricula from secular and homeschool publishers.
