q2 i? Around 75 percent of elementary and 65 percent of high school teachers in the ELA response group reported feeling very familiar and very prepared to teach the ELA standards. → Julia A. Gwynne and Jennifer R. Cowhy with R. Steven Quispe 2018 q2 i? Math-response teachers were somewhat less likely to feel very familiar and very prepared: nearly 70 percent of elementary and around one-half of high school teachers. → Julia A.

2016 survey preparedness items. "Around 75 percent of elementary teachers and 65 percent of high school teachers" in the ELA group felt very familiar and very prepared, up from about 60 percent of elementary teachers in 2015; reports of sufficient materials and PD also rose.

In the math response group, "nearly 70 percent of elementary teachers and around one-half of high school teachers" felt very familiar and very prepared; just over 60 percent of elementary but just under 40 percent of high school teachers very much agreed they had needed curricular materials.

"Slightly lower proportions of teachers in the math sample—nearly 70 percent of elementary teachers and around one-half of high school teachers—reported feeling "very familiar" and "very prepared" to teach the new math standards"

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Elementary teachers were much more likely than high school teachers to report the CCSS would have a great deal of impact on teaching and learning in 2016 — related
• Despite very different district implementation strategies for ELA and math, 2016 survey responses showed few differences between teachers responsible for each set of standards — related
• Elementary teachers were more likely than high school teachers to report that standards-related professional development had extensive impact on their teaching practices — related
• Around half of teachers reported meeting in grade-level teams at least weekly and observing colleagues' classrooms at least quarterly to implement the CCSS — related
• Teachers in 2016 were far less likely than administrators in 2015 to report that unaligned assessments, insufficient collaboration time, or inadequate PD were major barriers to CCSS implementation — related
• Teachers report very high self-perceived competence and efficacy that are virtually unrelated to their schools' prior achievement levels — related
• STEM teachers participating in learning teams deepen their mathematics and science content knowledge and feel more prepared to teach it — related
