Policymakers discussed ways to bridge the so-called parent-teacher perception gap on parent involvement in children’s education, as well as curriculum transparency, during a Sutherland Institute event on Tuesday.
The conservative think tank presented new polling data, as well as policy proposals to improve K-12 education by strengthening trust between parents and educators. The findings of the poll showed Utah parents and Utah teachers see each other very differently compared to the way they see themselves.
The poll, conducted by Y2 Analytics among 560 likely Utah voters and 610 Utah teachers, found that 96% of parents believe they are very (58%) or somewhat (38%) involved in their children’s education. Only 4% felt they were not very involved.
Teachers rated parent involvement differently. Less than two-thirds, 63%, of teachers believe parents are very (7%) or somewhat (56%) involved in their children’s education, according to the poll.
