What we can learn from the Great Teaching Toolkit’s Survey Data
"We know schools have been particularly interested recently in exploring inclusion and belonging so this summer I took a look at response data from inclusion-related GTT survey items from over 127,000 student surveys, nearly 600 peer surveys, and some 2,000 teacher self-reflections"
