Abstract	K-12 educators comprise a large and influential presence in American politics. Not only do they vote in significant numbers, but they also, at least in theory, possess the power to shape a new generation of young voters, not least by encouraging informed civic participation. When it comes to myriad issues related directly to education, their views are of particular interest. Not only do they vote on these issues as citizens but they experience them from the front row seats that their jobs in public education afford. Yet, on a national level, we possess relatively limited information on educators' political beliefs and behaviors. In order to gather information on this topic, in Fall 2017, the Education Week Research Center set out to survey a nationally-representative sample of teachers, school-based leaders (e.g., principals and vice principals), and district leaders such as school superintendents. The survey is especially timely given the divisions that currently exist in our nation in the wake of a 2016 Presidential election that revealed deep chasms in American political beliefs. This report presents findings from the survey. (ERIC).
