For the past seven years, the Educator Confidence Report (ECR) has given educators a forum to share their views on the state of education, the teaching profession, and the prevailing needs of students. Publisher and edtech company HMH asked teachers about issues that impact them daily, with a focus on technology and what they need right now. The report reveals about educator retention and well-being and the role technology is playing for teachers and students.

The report says the future of the classroom is personalized for students and teachers, with automated technology making it seamless to meet the needs of all learners.
