Most likely voters in Utah strongly support curriculum transparency policies in public schools, a recent survey from Sutherland Institute and Y2 Analytics finds.
Respondents shared their views about three different approaches for implementing curriculum transparency: requiring schools to share grade curriculum with parents, rewarding teachers for sharing lesson plans with parents, and requiring teachers to share lesson plans with parents.
- 79% of likely voters support rewarding teachers for transparency, but only 63% of voters would support making that a requirement of teachers.
- 73% of Republicans and 67% of Independents support requiring teachers to share lesson plans with parents, while only 29% of Democrats support it.
- As household income increases, support for transparency decreases, but most voters in all income brackets still support transparency measures.
The findings are highlighted in Sutherland’s newest issue brief, available here:
