TY - BOOK ID - 137497409 TI - Students with Unique Learning Profiles: Do Teachers Have Adequate Support? AU - Berglund, Tiffany AU - Johnston, William R. PY - 2020 PB - Santa Monica, Calif. RAND Corporation DB - UniCat UR - https://www.unicat.be/uniCat?func=search&query=sysid:137497409 AB - Support from teachers is vital to the success of all students, but especially for students with unique learning profiles (ULPs). Therefore, the need to understand teacher support systems is particularly acute for teachers who work in schools with high rates of ULP students. Prior research has suggested that support from colleagues and experts, strong instructional leadership from principals, and positive school culture, as well as professional development and peer feedback, are key to these teachers' performance, job satisfaction, and career longevity. However, the nationwide prevalence of supports related to planning time and materials specifically geared to the needs of ULP students is much less clear, as is understanding of disparities in support access between teachers in schools with high versus low levels of student poverty. This Data Note uses data from the RAND Corporation's web-based American Educator Panel surveys to provide general insights into teachers' perceptions of the supports available for helping ULP students.
