Remote Learning Survey Data

Intro / Background● Goal - to understand how remote learning was

experienced by teachers, students, and families● Survey window - May 19-June 3● Participants

○ Students grades 4-8 (1,129) - slides 5-33○ Parents (2,505 in English, 85 in Spanish; results

here include all parent responses) - slides 34-68○ Educators (823) - slides 69-99

● Results presented here are all aggregate; open ended questions not included as not analyzed yet

Survey Limitations & Considerations● Student and Parent respondents are only those who are

still “connected” to school■ Result -> upward bias (more positive)

● We have actively reached out to students and families (focus groups, interviews) to get further input

● Survey was also administered electronically■ Result -> potential exclusion of students/families

with connectivity barriers● Survey population is not same as district population

○ Students = grades 4-8; Parents = all grades pk-8
