In a report just released by the National Commission on Teaching and America's Future, the cost of teacher turnover in 2003-2004 alone topped 7 billion dollars nationally. Seven billion!
If ever there was a need for progressive thinking about how we take care of our educators better, now is the time. My small piece of the puzzle is trying to revolutionize how individual school systems treats its employees. But clearly this is one approach of many that we'll need to address in order to stop this hemorrhaging. Honestly, this is a terrifying article.
I'm going to soak in this article for a bit, but I'll look forward to reading responses on the web to this report.
