| 1 Teachers were asked "In your teaching, to what extent can you do the following?" For each item, teachers could select one option: "not at all," "to some extent," "quite a bit," or "a lot." This table combines the percentages for "quite a bit" and "a lot." | ||||||||||||
| 2 Data were calculated using International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED) 2011. "Bachelor's degree or lower" includes all teachers who have not completed any level of education higher than ISCED 2011 level 6. "Master's or professional degree" refers to teachers whose highest level of education completed is ISCED 2011 level 7. "Doctor's degree" refers to those who have completed ISCED 2011 level 8. | ||||||||||||
| 3 These categories differ from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) urban-centric locale categories (city, suburban, town, and rural) used in other tables. | ||||||||||||
| 4 Principals were asked to estimate the broad percentage of lower secondary students in their school from socioeconomically disadvantaged homes. "Socioeconomically disadvantaged homes" were defined as "homes lacking the basic necessities or advantages of life, such as adequate housing, nutrition or medical care." | ||||||||||||
| NOTE: The survey collected data from nationally representative samples of teachers at the lower secondary level (ISCED 2011 level 2, which corresponds to grades 7-9 in the United States). This table includes only lower secondary teachers who taught in U.S. public schools. Data on teacher characteristics are based on teacher responses, and data on school characteristics are based on responses provided by the school principal. | ||||||||||||
