New Surveys of Parents and Teachers Finds Perception Disconnects on Communication, Engagement

ClassTag, a leading communication app, today released the findings of "Parent's Perspectives", a survey of more than 1,000 parents of current K12 students, as part of the "The State of Teacher - Parent Engagement 2019", a comprehensive report which also surveyed over 1,000 primary educators earlier this year. The latest survey results reveal that parents and teachers have several different, significant views on home to school engagement. Read all the latest news.

According to "Parent Perspectives", 39 percent of parents gave the highest marks in communication to teachers this past school year. The plurality of parents (29%) said the communication was "excellent". Only four percent of all parents gave teachers a score of one of ten.

This contrasts with the results of the Teacher's Perspectives which found that almost half of all teachers (48%) reported that at least a quarter of their students' families were, "hard to reach and engage". The 2018 survey, found similar levels of teacher difficulty in engaging parents and families.

"The findings paint a picture where teachers continue to report significant levels of missing engagement by parents or guardians while parents tend to think their teachers are doing a good job of communicating," said Vlada Lotkina, Co-founder and CEO of ClassTag. "It's clear that both teachers and parents see teachers tossing the ball, but teachers still don't feel that families are catching it," she said.

That difference is especially enlightening considering the survey results on who has the responsibility for learning. According to teachers, parents "thinking that education is a teacher's job, not a teamwork between parents and teachers" was one of the biggest barriers to effective communication between teachers and families. But when asked, nearly three-quarters (73%) of parents said that, "it's a joint responsibility between myself and teachers to ensure my child has a good education." Less than nine percent said, "education is a teacher's job."

A third of teachers also reported that "conflicting parent expectations" in terms of communications channels and frequency are a key roadblock for effective parent communication, while a majority (73%) of parents suggest that they would either "love to customize their communications preferences" or "would likely do so".

"This is exactly the role of ClassTag which helps to close this gap by giving teachers one easy communication channel while delivering the information in the modality and frequency preferred by the parent, whether it's e-mail, text, app, web or even paper," said Lotkina.

In another apparent misaligned view, parents say what they want most in teacher communication is "pictures and video about a day at school." But in the teacher survey, two-thirds of teachers said the top requests from parents were, "about their child's academics and behaviors" followed by "when things are due."

Other noteworthy findings from the parent survey include:

The "Parent's Perspective" was conducted online and had 1,072 responses from parents in 48 states with children in all types of schools, from early childhood through high school. The results of the first 2019 Teacher's Perspective survey, was released in June. For more information or to download the full report, please visit: http://www.classtag.com/research.
