class=\"wp-block-prc-block-collapsible__content\">\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pew Research Center conducted this analysis to better understand what public K-12 teachers would like Americans to know about their profession. We also wanted to learn how the public thinks about teachers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the open-end question, we surveyed 2,531 U.S. public K-12 teachers from Oct. 17 to Nov. 14, 2023. The teachers surveyed are members of RAND\u2019s American Teacher Panel, a nationally representative panel of public K-12 school teachers recruited through MDR Education. Survey data is weighted to state and national teacher characteristics to account for differences in sampling and response to ensure they are representative of the target population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overall, 96% of surveyed teachers provided an answer to the open-ended question. Center researchers developed a coding scheme categorizing the responses, coded all responses, and then grouped them into the six themes explored in the data essay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the questions for the general public, we surveyed 5,029 U.S. adults from Nov. 9 to Nov. 16, 2023. The adults surveyed are members of the Ipsos KnowledgePanel, a nationally representative online survey panel. Panel members are randomly recruited through probability-based sampling, and households are provided with access to the Internet and hardware if needed. To ensure that the results of this survey reflect a balanced cross section of the nation, the data is weighted to match the U.S. adult population by gender, age, education, race and ethnicity and other categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are the <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/social-trends\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/03\/ST_24.04.04_teacher-essay_topline.pdf\">questions used for this analysis<\/a>, along with responses, the <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/social-trends\/2024\/02\/22\/race-lgbtq-in-schools-methodology\/#teacher-survey-methodology\">teacher survey methodology<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/social-trends\/2024\/02\/22\/race-lgbtq-in-schools-methodology\/#general-public-survey-methodology\">general public survey methodology<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most of the responses to the open-ended question fell into one of these six themes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"teaching-is-a-hard-job\" style=\"font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.568), 19px);\">Teaching is a hard job<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About half of teachers (51%) said they want the public to know that teaching is a difficult job and that teachers are hardworking. Within this share, many mentioned that they have roles and responsibilities in the classroom besides teaching, which makes the job stressful. Many also talked about working long hours, beyond those they\u2019re contracted for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group aligncenter section-1 is-style-default has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group parent-quote has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTeachers serve multiple roles other than being responsible for teaching curriculum. We are counselors, behavioral specialists and parents for students who need us to fill those roles.
