LPS Survey Shows Teachers, Parents Differ On Remote Learning Success

By News Sep 25, 2020 | 6:54 AM

A survey from Lincoln Public Schools shows a contrast between parents and teachers on the success of remote learning.

Superintendent Dr. Steve Joel says more than 74-percent of parents say it’s working compared to 38-percent of teachers.

“We interpret this to mean that for teachers remote learning is challenging, that it is a lot of work, and that it is stressful. We certainly acknowledge all of this to be true. However, and this is the important point, our teachers are working hard and the vast majority of parents are pleased with how teachers have responded and how remote learning is going so far. We appreciate the hard work of our teachers.”

Here are highlights:

  • Parent response rate:
    • Grades K-1: 31.5%
    • Grades 2-5: 22.5%
    • Grades 6-8: 20%
    • Grades 9-12 100% remote learners: 11%
    • Grades 9-12 A/B schedule: 12%
  • 61-76% of parents agreed or strongly agreed with the statement that their student has opportunities to share/talk with their class.
  • 70-76% of parents agreed or strongly agreed with the statement that their student can reach teachers for help outside of class.
  • 76-83% of parents agreed or strongly agreed with the statement that their student has the instructional resources needed to be successful in a remote environment.
  • 62-77% of parents agreed or strongly agreed with the statement that their student is spending about the right amount of time on Zoom.
