This month, during Educators Rising week, our student leaders polled our student RapidResponders within the Educators Rising community about their opinions about issues relating to the impact of attitudes and availability of resources on the school experience. In this post, we’ll share the results. If you’d like to become a RapidResponder and are an Educators Rising student member, you can sign up here to participate in our upcoming polls.

In each of the following questions, we used a Likert scale (1=I do not strongly agree, 5=I strongly agree), therefore 4s and 5s indicate agreement with the statements you’ll see above each chart.

Educators Rising believes in amplifying student voice. As we can see from these responses, there is some strong consensus on the effect of teacher and student attitudes in contributing to the success of a given school day. Beliefs about school administration’s attitudes as it relates to post-graduation success was less uniform, and while all respondents did not equally make use of available school resources, there was a strong feeling that the availability of these resources makes a positive difference for students.
