Teacher Voice Omnibus Survey

About Teacher Voice

Teacher Voice is NFER's new teacher omnibus survey. It started in February 2008, and is now running three times a year, with surveys in the autumn, spring and summer. The survey offers you the opportunity to submit questions to our panel of 1000 primary and secondary school teachers and receive analysis of the results.

Please note: Teacher Voice is full for the October/November survey and so we cannot accept any more questions for this round. The next survey will take place in February/March 2009.

Teacher Voice is a fast turnaround regular survey that enables you to access up to the minute views from teachers on topical issues. Buying into a few questions on the survey is an economical way to find out what teachers think about particular issues without commissioning a full survey or research project. The survey will be online, allowing us to produce results very quickly and keep costs low. NFER's experienced research staff will provide advice and guidance on question wording, and our statisticians and researchers will provide a comprehensive set of results for your use.

Our teacher panel represents the whole teaching workforce, from headteachers to newly qualified classroom teachers, drawn from a representative sample of maintained primary and secondary schools in England.

A recent pilot Teacher Voice survey found...

"ICT is transforming the way teachers teach."
Eighty per cent of teachers responding to our omnibus survey confirmed that using ICT in lessons made a difference to the way they teach. Two thirds of teachers felt that they have the skills to exploit the technology available to them.
