"For over 20 years, the voices of teachers have served as a guide for state and district policies through the North Carolina Teacher Working Conditions Survey. Allowing the voices of educators to serve as a driver ensures that students are the center of our work so that student achievement can be elevated to the highest extent possible!" 

Erika Newkirk, Chief Human Resources Officer
Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools

Research across the nation continues to document that improving teacher working conditions is strongly connected to improved student achievement.
