Want to RETAIN teachers? Do THESE!
•Make smaller class sizes happen
•Advocate for teacher concerns
•Increase planning time
•Improve salaries
•Figure out the damn sub shortage issue!
•Let teachers TEACH!
As Teacher Appreciation week nears, understand we have a teacher shortage because we have an attrition crisis. Teachers are leaving in droves because they don’t feel supported, valued, & they are simply burnt out. We need to take care of our teachers more than one week a year.
@Greg_Moffitt I am no longer teaching due to lack of parenting. Parents think that teachers handle all the educational aspects and forget that it needs to be a team effort.
Norwalk schools had 41 staff absent today and only enough subs to cover 25 positions. Meanwhile our Governor is bashing schools over a few library books. #Iowaeducation
