.@marshalldavidt2 and I recently surveyed teachers about technology in the classroom. A majority of teachers support cell phone bans in classrooms and express a desire to return to paper-and-pencil teaching. #EdTech #EducationReform #Teaching https://t.co/aZe7rfaULl

We surveyed over 800 US teachers to see if school-provided mental health resources make a difference. The short answer: Yes. Mindfulness programs, mental health days, and supportive leadership.

We Studied How AI Shapes Teachers’ Well-Being. Here’s What We Found (Opinion) https://t.co/GXnjSgrBKF

This was a follow-up to the results we found in spring 2025, which showed that comfort with AI was a significant predictor of better teacher mental well-being. @marshalldavidt2 https://t.co/K1pX3QVICI

[Tim Pressley, Ph.D. @tpress87]

In the fall, @marshalldavidt2 and I explored the effect of AI on teacher mental well-being. We found that the connection is much more complex than simply providing AI PD leads to better mental well-being. https://t.co/mQsafcrj1V

Really interesting findings. Though 4-day work weeks have benefits for recruiting teachers, there is limited support for increasing teacher retention. Definitely an area that needs more research.

We also did a deep dive on the current literature for @Paragon_Inst to learn more about the overall impact. https://t.co/S1yA6macYH

Recently there have been a lot of conversations about cell phone bans in school. @marshalldavidt2 and I talked to teachers in a district in Virginia about their experiences implementing one. https://t.co/0tjiNtvJUj #CellPhoneBans #CellPhonesinSchools #EducationalPolicy

We still need K-6 teachers to complete our survey on the science of reading. This survey will help identify the best ways to support teachers in the science of reading. #ScienceofReading #Elementary #ReadingInstruction #ElementaryTeacher #ReadingResearch

Enjoy free access to our article for the rest of 2026. This article focused on teachers' perceptions of return-to-learning plans in 2020-2021. Though this article focuses on COVID, the results can apply to other policy implementations in education. https://t.co/A73OoxeoNx

K-6 Teachers: With growing attention to the Science of Reading, teachers are being asked to change reading instruction. We are developing a new measure of teachers’ confidence in supporting students’ reading development and identify supports they may need.

Texas Teachers Needed!

We are seeking teacher perspectives on the new bill that awarded raises based on years of experience. This study aims to better understand how teachers view the policy and whether it reflects the kinds of support teachers need.

Reading instruction is receiving increased attention in schools, yet we still need better ways to understand how prepared and confident teachers feel about providing it. We are developing a new teacher self-efficacy scale, but we need teacher responses!
