    #24 Teacher Attrition Part 4 Dr. Pam Grossman

    I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Pam Grossman. "Dr. Grossman is a leading expert in teacher preparation, teacher quality, and teacher professional development. A former high school English teacher, Dr. Grossman is at the forefront of rethinking how teachers are educated and studying the connections between the support they receive, the quality of their classroom practice, the likelihood they remain in teaching, and student learning." This is the last of a collection of four episodes recorded in early 2022 on the topic of teacher attrition. We discuss the impact of school and district leadership on teacher turnover, the challenges that different types of schools face in retaining high-quality teachers, potential policy solutions to high rates of teacher resignation, and more. Enjoy.

    #22 Teacher Attrition Part 2 Dr. Richard Ingersoll

    For this conversation, I spoke with Dr. Richard Ingersoll, Professor of Education and Sociology at the Graduate School of Education at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Ingersoll is a leading expert on America’s elementary and secondary teaching force. His research examines teaching as a job, teachers as employees, and schools as workplaces—from a teacher’s pre-employment training through their last day in the classroom.   We have a profession called teaching. Theoretically, it's an important profession. That profession—teaching—is staffed by teachers. Teachers come and teachers go. It’s natural for individuals to leave a profession. So is there something unique about teacher turnover? This is the question we attempt to answer by exploring the history of teacher attrition, the reasons why the professions struggles to retain teachers year over, and the current challenges facing teachers during a time of Covid. We also explore possible policy solutions to this problem. Enjoy!
