Educator Effectiveness Webinar: “Attracting & Retaining Great Teachers”

By SchoolStatus • 1 min

Thanks to all who participated in the latest webinar in TeachBoost’s Educator Effectiveness Webinar Series: Attracting and Retaining Great Educators.

Panelists Maya Tucci of KIPP NYC and Linda Rosenbury of the Brooklyn Urban Garden School offered fantastic advice on how charter schools can hire, and hang on to, the best teaching talent. Here’s just a sampling of the practices and strategies discussed:

Being up front about the culture of the school, so that a teacher understands they are entering a community, not just a clasroom.
Turning the interview process into a professional development opportunity.
Offering room for growth and flexibility in a teaching position.

A big thanks to Maya and Linda for sharing valuable insights with the charter community, and for doing such great work for their schools!

Finally, to toot our own horn just a bit: we loved hearing how TeachBoost supports Maya and Linda’s work. If you’d like to chat with us to learn more about how we partner with schools, please reach out!
