4 Ways to Increase Teacher Retention

These days it’s getting harder for administrators to retain staff, but there are ways to boost teacher morale and turn things around.

Why have so many teachers either failed to return to work, resigned, or chosen not to enter the field since the pandemic? What’s made the profession become less attractive, and what can we do to change it? Some districts in the United States have tried to incentivize becoming a teacher.
