School environments for learning and teaching have come to the forefront in many states as the nation has come to recognize that our inability to support high quality teaching in many schools, especially high need schools, impacts our ability to keep highly effective teachers and to improve student achievement. Resources now available will increase as more states, including Georgia, focus on teacher working conditions as a critical element in the education of our children.

This toolkit was developed by the Southeast Center for Teaching Quality and is based on the five domains addressed by surveys in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. The toolkit is intended to help all stakeholders - community members, teachers, principals, administrators and policymakers - better understand and respond to teacher working conditions in their respective schools. We hope you find it a valuable resource.
