Question – Where Do You Find 2 Million New Teachers With Experience?
Answer – You Don’t
With more than 1 million teachers nearing retirement and the demand for teachers increasing, the future of students goes beyond hiring qualified teachers. According to NEA statistics, 20% of all new teachers leave within three years and 50% of urban teachers flee the profession after five years. Keeping qualified teachers has never been more important and a great first year is the key.
New teachers are the most neglected population in the school community and On Your Mark, Get Set, Teach takes the personal, rather than scholarly approach to prepare teachers for a lifetime in education.
