Teachers Are Disengaged from their Employment

This could be the answer to a question I've been trying to solve most of the day. According to a Gaulp Poll, Teachers are not engaged in their work, and even more, some are Actively disengaged.

• Just 30% of U.S. teachers are engaged in their work
• Actively disengaged teachers average twice as many absences

This article is the first in a series exploring employee engagement among U.S. teachers as measured by Gallup Daily tracking.
