Schools Matter blog posted a roundup of recent research on teacher opinions of NCLB and high-stakes testing.The MetLife Survey of the American Teacher , conducted by Harris Interactive each year since 1984.
A link to a large 50-state survey by TeacherNetwork.org, which showed that "Survey Reveals that Only 1% of Teachers Find No Child Left Behind an Effective Way to Assess the Quality of Schools and 69% Report It’s Pushing Teachers Out of the Profession."
NY State Union of Teachers has released a survey (pdf) showing strong opposition to NCLB and exposing the detrimental effects of high-stakes testing on teaching and learning.
Details on the kinds of damage teachers see being caused by high-stakes testing and NLCB.
And, finally, a survey and in-depth interviews with teachers in Southern CA finds similar concern and opposition.
