Overall, while many AP and NWP teachers express concern about growing disparities across schools and school districts, they are divided as to whether the advent of digital tools is leading to greater disparities among their students. A large majority of these teachers (84%) agree to some extent with the statement that “Today’s digital technologies are leading to greater disparities between affluent and disadvantaged schools and school districts.” However, asked whether today’s digital technologies are p e winter n e t .o r g 44 45% 48% At home In school 22% 16% 48% 57% 58% 56% 67% Urban Rural Small city/Suburban Small town At home In school 52%

AP and NWP teachers’ views of disparities between more affluent and disadvantaged school districts do not vary notably across different types of communities. Asked whether they agree or disagree that today’s digital technologies are leading to greater disparities between affluent and disadvantaged schools and school districts, between 38% and 41% of teachers in all community types (urban, suburban, rural and small town) “strongly agree” this is the case. However, differences on this question do emerge when looking at the socioeconomic status of the students in their classes. While teachers of the lowest (44%) and the highest (43%) income students are equally likely to say that digital tools are leading to greater disparity across schools, fewer teachers of p e winter n e t .o r g 45
