| Abstract: | The spring 2025 teacher survey--developed by EdChoice and conducted by Morning Consult between March 21-27, 2025, among a sample of 1,032 teachers--reveals a strong rebound in teacher morale, classroom conditions, and support for educational options. After hitting a low point last year, teachers are now reporting meaningful improvements--and a renewed sense of purpose. Findings that stood out to the authors include: (1) Optimism is rising: More than half of teachers say their local school district is headed in the right direction--up 12 points from last spring; (2) Wellbeing is improving: 63% say they feel hopeful about the future. More teachers report feeling happy and satisfied, while fewer feel overwhelmed; (3) Support for school choice is growing: 74% support Education Savings Accounts (ESAs)--and a clear majority believe all families should have access, regardless of income or need. Importantly, teachers are more likely to support programs with universal eligibility, than those limited to some; and (4) Classroom disruptions are easing: Reports of frequent student absences and misbehavior are down significantly. |
