A recent survey of 4,700 teachers and 267 principals in 12 school districts conducted by the National School Boards of Education surveyed how teachers and administrators feel about their urban school environments. There were some interesting differences in the responses of teachers and administrators:

• Nearly all the administrators agreed that "students at this school are capable of high achievement on standardized exams," but only three-quarters of teachers concurred.
• Eighty-five percent of administrators believed their students would be successful at community college or a university, but only 58% of teachers agreed.
• Ninety-four percent of the administrators said they actively seek out opportunities for teachers to learn new instructional methods, while only 78% of teachers said they had sufficient opportunities of that kind.
• Ninety-five percent of the administrators said teachers at their schools could benefit from more professional development, but only 68% of the teachers thought so.
