in one of our recent blogs, we noted that some teachers list “weak or uninspiring leadership” as a reason they are leaving their positions. those who feel strongly that they are not supported by their school administration are at high risk of calling it quits. if we are relying on school leaders and building administrators to reverse this trend, we need to make sure we are equipping them with the skills they need to recognize, develop, motivate, and support teacher growth and development. for many district leaders, summer offers a perfect window to focus on aspects of their own growth and development.

post-pandemic data shows that teachers are leaving the profession in higher numbers than they were before the pandemic and for reasons other than retirement or inadequate performance. these high turnover rates have many impacts on the school community, not the least of which is a detrimental effect on student growth and achievement. why are teachers quitting, and what can be done to stop this troubling trend? aside from compensation, teachers say they are leaving their positions due to frustration and even exhaustion from managing unreasonable expectations while feeling overworked and undervalued. some cite weak or uninspiring leadership as a factor while others point to political pressures interfering with how they do their jobs and serve their students. this level of dissatisfaction is contributing to the unhealthy state of the teaching profession overall.
