Hello! It’s Rebecca from Chalkbeat Philly.
I’m bringing you a story from our colleagues in Tennessee today, who analyzed teacher turnover data and found something troubling: schools facing the most persistent learning gaps often also have the most teachers leaving each year.
There’s no one reason teachers cite for leaving the profession. But researchers have found that high turnover is linked to declines in student academic achievement.
If you have a story question or tip, reach us at [email protected].
P.S. Chalkbeat Philadelphia will host a virtual conversation on Monday, Oct. 26 on whether Pennsylvania’s efforts to support formerly incarcerated students are working. Don’t miss our conversation spotlighting solutions! RSVP here.
Local education coverage is disappearing. Chalkbeat helps families and educators understand what’s changing. We can’t do it without you.
