DO YOU KNOW …

9 of 10 teachers hired each year are replacing colleagues who left the profession? And 2/3 of those colleagues are leaving before retirement?

According to Linda Darling-Hammond and Anne Podolsky (2019), “… more than two-thirds of teachers leave for reasons other than retirement, most of them citing dissatisfaction with different aspects of teaching that are amenable to policy intervention, including accountability policies, lack of administrative support, and lack of opportunity for decision making input and collaboration" (p.7).
