If you asked 156,000 Christian school parents, students, teachers and other constituents what they want – what most satisfies them – in a K-12 Christian school teacher, here is the result. This is based on 5.6 million words of comments from 951 GraceWorks surveys, 2008-2025. I used two different AIs to come up with this result, which seems to me to be the most objective possible take on what makes for the most satisfying Christian School Teacher. Christian schools may freely use this description in whole or in part.
Reader Note: GraceWorks is taking advantage of the power of AI to provide experientially-proven, statistically-valid truth to common issues K-12 Christian schools face – based on a mountain of data of serving Christian schools exclusively since 2006.
We put this same power to work for your school, providing detailed practical solutions to satisfaction problems discovered through our nationally-normed Christian School Comprehensive Survey for parents, students, and teachers.)
