Sustaining Excellence: How Culture Drives Teacher Retention
This book was developed to share the perspective of a long-time school leader as we consider the most effective practices to preserve our school communities. These strategies are multifaceted. Some of them can be implemented tomorrow, while others will take a bit more time. Using these strategies will recenter your thinking around how the people in your school connect to your organization. Remember, we are in the people business, and this book is designed to build your repertoire of effective practices when it comes to building school culture, managing a changing workforce, contending with societal changes, and considering how your school is the best place for teachers to be. The goal is to help alleviate the trend of teachers leaving one school to go to another and, even better, to help rekindle the connections that keep our teachers moving forward in our profession. The author shares his ideas on creating a culture of yes, hiring effectively, building genuine autonomy, considering mental health and well-being, and creating a family-like culture where our teachers not only stay but choose to stay.
