Abstract

This report draws on quantitative findings from the Q Project’s first survey of educators, which was administered online to teachers and school leaders between March - September, 2020. In total, 492 educators from 414 schools across four Australian states completed the survey: New South Wales (NSW), South Australia (SA), Victoria (VIC), and Queensland (QLD).

The report is technical in nature, outlining all findings, as well as the research rationale, design and approach to gathering and analysing the survey data. An accompanying summary report focused on key insights and emerging issues and implications for educators is available via our Publication page on the website.
