q2 · i? · qualitative · r2
Focus-group finding across all six groups. One teacher reported that despite a supportive principal, in family communication she was "pretty much on my own," receiving a spreadsheet with no guidance on how to communicate or handle ineffective communications.
"Chief among the obstacles teachers experienced was a sense of insufficient guidance from school leadership."
