Are you concerned about teacher turnover? Before the pandemic, a study by National Center for Education Statistics discovered that an average of 16 percent of public school teachers change schools or leave teaching every year in the US. After the added stress from the pandemic, in January of 2021, a RAND survey found that one in four teachers were considering leaving their job by the end of the school year. Teacher retention is so important when it comes to growing an engaging community.
In the article, Can we talk? Better communication reduces teacher turnover, Jotform discusses the importance of strengthening communication within your school and how it can lead to teacher retention. When teachers are happy, they are more likely to stay where they are. Jotform states that "Teaching can be a very isolating profession, even in a classroom full of students. This is why it is so important for administrators to create a culture of collaboration in their schools."
