National Teacher Survey
Thank you for taking this survey! This survey is being conducted by 826 National. We recently released a report, The Truth About Writing Education in America: Let’s Write, Make Things Right (download at 826national.org/research) about the current state of writing education. To help us continue to dive deeper in the challenges and recommendations from the report, we are conducting an annual survey of educators. We hope that this information will help us continue to identify challenges and gaps in our field so that we can together improve how we can provide quality writing instruction to the young voices of today. This survey should take about 10 minutes to complete. Complete the survey by June 30th for a chance to win a $500 Visa gift card!
