Teachers love Admin who:
1) Go above & beyond for their staff 2) Listen
3) Who are present: in classrooms, hallways, cafeteria, lunchroom
4) Value Teachers time (planning, meetings, after school)
5) Support and encourage them
6) Empathetic
7) Have their back
Teacher retention: if you want to keep the best teachers, treat them like they are the best. Few teachers leave an environment where they feel valued, supported, appreciated, and treated like professionals.
Wishing all my teaching friends and colleagues all the best as we return to work tomorrow! Particularly to those who are starting in new roles or at new schools like I am. Hope you have an awesome 2020 βπΌβπΌβπΌ #teachnsw#holidaysareover
