as an instructional leader, i remember sitting at my desk before the start of each semester, turning my wheels about how to make each day longer so i could prioritize the competing needs of my dozens of teachers and maybe have time for lunch. i supported five new teachers, all in different content areas with different curricula (or none) which added to this stress. i began to shift my mindset to discover that natural breaks in the year—such as new quarters/semesters or the beginning and end of the school year—hold significance. these times created an opportunity for a mini-reset to reimagine and prioritize our work. here are six tips for leaders looking to adopt a new curriculum:

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.

as students across the county prepare for the start of a new school year, conversations about how to address our national teacher shortage are becoming more frequent and urgent. many educators are calling for this conversation to be rebranded as a “teacher walkout” to highlight that teachers are leaving the field as a way to protest a system not built to empower them as decision-makers and innovators. this shift in language – from “teacher shortage” to “teacher walkout” – illuminates a key design element that districts can leverage proactively to respond to retention challenges: teacher agency.

happy teacher appreciation week! this time of year is truly special to me. for 7 years, i worked as a classroom teacher. it was the hardest job i ever loved. supporting my students academically, contributing to a positive school culture and communicating with families and community members, all made teaching such a wonderful professional experience. in my role as a design principal at 瑞士vs喀麦隆亚盘赔率 , i no longer work in the classroom, but i use the skills to support school leaders and districts.
