ISER's inaugural newsletter is here!
The fall issue of ISER News shows that work in action: Read about the ISER data that helped reshape school lunches for the Anchorage School District, Dr. Spencer Perry's research on aging and cognitive decline, and the Center for Economic Development's work with the Anchorage Fire Department to evaluate funding models for wildfire prevention.
Read the fall issue for these stories and more.
The school year is over, and ISER researchers are studying which Alaska educators choose to come back to their jobs next year – and why. Researchers from the Center for Alaska Education Policy Research (CAEPR) presented updated teacher and principal turnover numbers, as well as preliminary findings from their statewide educator survey, at the Alaska State Board of Education on Wednesday June 3.
CAEPR is currently running a statewide educator survey!
The survey was developed in collaboration with education shareholders. It is a confidential survey that asks educators about their school and work experience, their community, themselves, and their future plans.
In early February, every in-service educator in Alaska received a personalized email survey invitation. We will send reminders to teachers periodically over the next 8 weeks, and develop a report in June.
We are excited to do this in service of schools and communities in our state.
