🚨 🧵@OSSEDC released a new report on the DC Educator Workforce. After expected lull during pandemic (when it was difficult to move jobs), turnover is back up w/ 26 % not returning to their school in SY 21-22.

There's so much more. Here’s the big thread with all the headlines: Image WARD BY WARD: 30 % leaving their schools yr over yr in W 4, 6, 7 & 8. 24 % in W5.

REMINDER: Research shows teachers leave schools w/ higher % “at risk” students not bc of challenges w/ students, but bc of the types of policies imposed on those schools (lack of autonomy, etc…) Image
