In the Fifth Annual HMH Educator Confidence Report, more than 1,300 educators from across the country weighed in on the state of learning, the role of technology, and the challenges they face every day as they work to ensure all students succeed in school and life. A major takeaway is growing concern for the social and emotional needs of students. See how your peers feel about the outlook for education in 2019.
