q2 · i? · associational · r?
Survey of more than 19,000 teachers and nearly 800 principals and assistant principals in Chicago Public Schools in REACH's second year. "About two-thirds of teachers" and 89 percent of principals agreed REACH will improve instruction and outcomes; teacher satisfaction dropped from over 70 percent to 62 percent.
"while the majority of teachers (62 percent) reported being satisfied with the evaluation process at their school, this is a decrease in satisfaction from the first year of REACH, when over 70 percent reported satisfaction with the process"
