Abstract: In partnership with Morning Consult, EdChoice surveyed a nationally representative sample of 1,030 teachers from April 1 through April 9, 2026. They put together a wide array of questions to learn more about teachers' experiences and perspectives, including topics like AI, durable skills, and general feelings about the teaching profession. Some highlights include: (1) Teachers are not feeling very optimistic about education; (2) Teachers see the value of technology like laptops in the classroom, but they are concerned about the impact of artificial intelligence; (3) Teachers are aligned with parents on the importance of durable skills, with a few caveats; and (4) Teachers are supportive of school choice policies, especially education savings accounts (ESAs). Their support increases when a description is provided.
