A Portrait of Delaware's New Teachers: Summary Report

Abstract

This report is a summary of the comprehensive report on new Delaware teachers, i.e., those in their first three years teaching in the state, surveyed in spring 2010. The comprehensive and much longer report, available on the University of Delaware’s website (www.ipa.udel.edu/publications/education.html), provides the full scope of the survey data and analysis as well as all the tables and figures generated for the report. This summary report highlights the most significant data collected across all respondents, the major conclusions from the full report, and provides the most relevant figures and tables. Readers interested in greater detail, e.g., breakdowns by county, school level, gender, and year teaching in Delaware, are referred to the comprehensive report, where these are discussed as appropriate.
