NOTE: Due to school-level nonresponse, estimates in the "Length of student school week" row and "Percentage of student school week" columns are not available for all teachers in the sample and the reported estimates are for those teachers from responding SASS schools. All other estimates include all regular full-time teachers of any of grades 1–4. Regular full-time teachers are those who reported spending most of their time during the school year as a regular full time teacher and not an itinerant, teacher aide, long-term substitute, or other type of staff who taught regularly scheduled classes. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
