In this webinar, education leaders will receive evidence-based strategies for rural district and school leaders to help them improve working conditions and increase teacher retention rates. Participants will learn a five-step process for using research and local data to identify, monitor and enhance teacher working conditions.
REL Northwest is using this process to support Alaska’s Lower Kuskokwim School District in boosting teacher retention. The factsheet Addressing Working Conditions to Improve Teacher Retention: An Exploration of the Research describes eight categories that may influence a teacher’s decision to stay or leave. A recent blog describes how Lower Kuskokwim School District started its process by identifying what steps school leadership can take to address working conditions and improve retention.
