| Abstract: |
Political polarization is on the rise in the United States. K-12 education has not been immune to this trend. In the summer of 2025, the EdWeek Research Center fielded a survey to explore the degree to which teachers and administrators are themselves polarized when it comes to two topics that have historically sparked partisan disagreement: immigration and the role of the federal government in K-12 education. The survey also explored beliefs and practices related to civics education, which is often viewed as a potential solution to political conflict and polarization. This white paper highlights survey results which suggest that, while K-12 educators are not immune to the nation's partisan divides, many shared priorities remain. |
