q2 · i? · associational · r?

Survey-indicator analysis using seven indicators of collective faculty action (teacher voice, influence, strategic planning, collective activity, and collegiality). The report states "18 percent of the school faculties would be classified as highly engaged" and that moderate-activity schools add 33 percent, so slightly more than half show moderate to extensive faculty activity.

"If we apply this criterion to all elementary schools, 18 percent of the school faculties would be classified as highly engaged. Schools ulth positive responses to three to four indicators represented moderate teacher activity"
