Grow, Keep, and Flourish: Rethinking Professional Development for Teacher Retention
Description
Teachers are the foundation of every successful school, making retention a critical priority for districts. While professional development plays a key role in educator growth, traditional "sit-and-get" approaches often fall short of fostering engagement and long-term success. Research shows that personalized coaching and continuous support can strengthen instructional practice, improve student outcomes, and help educators thrive in their careers. The real challenge is creating a culture where growth, learning, and change are embraced. Join us to explore how coaching-driven professional learning can help districts grow talent, keep great teachers, and create the conditions for educators to flourish.
