SUBJECT: NATIONAL EDUCATOR SURVEY

 

You have been selected to participate in a national survey of educators regarding education issues in your state and local area.

This is a representative and scientific survey, sponsored by the National Education Association.  Your responses are anonymous and will not be linked to your name or email address.  Your participation is a valuable way to make your voice heard.

This survey will remain active for two weeks.  You may pause and continue at any point within that time period.  You may take this survey on a mobile device or on a computer, but you may find it easier to complete the survey on a computer.
