The Challenge
The Challenge
As a district, CMO, or school leader, you know that your teachers are the heartbeat of your schools' mission in ensuring your students receive a world-class education.
But let's face it. Teacher recruitment and retention are harder than they have ever been.
Here are a few reasons why.
Candidates have more choice than ever on where they can teach—nearby schools, online, microschools, and more.
School leaders are juggling increasingly more demands and managing daily fires making it hard to find time to attract and retain well.
Marketing strategies that worked a few years ago no longer work and there’s little capacity to keep up with the latest trends.
Newer generations of teachers have new expectations about their workplace, including their environments, benefits, and how long they stay.
But there's a way forward to recruit and retain top talent.
With a localized systems view, smart leaders view recruitment and retention as more than just a series of checklists and compliance activities.
They start by carrying this mindset: Always recruiting, always retaining. Not just when "hiring season" rolls around but throughout the year.
PLUS, they regularly ask themselves:
✔️ Are we regularly telling our clear, compelling story about our school(s), including our differentiators and benefits?
✔️ Are we taking a customer service approach—anticipating the needs of our candidates and current teachers?
✔️ Are we laser-focused on creating a culture of support and collaboration that both attracts and keeps our amazing educators?
Here's how we can help.
