Growing & Greening

Adequate Time to Develop

• The teaching workforce has grown dramatically since 1980• 13% of teachers leaves the profession every year• The modal years of experience went from 15 years in

‘88-’89 to 5 years in ‘11-’12Ingersoll, R. On the path to equity (2014). Alliance for Excellent Education

• It takes 3-7 years to become a highly skilled teacher• Teachers are not staying long enough to become highly

skilledHuang, F. Tapping the potential (2004). Alliance for Excellent Education


There’s a cycle of inequity for our most under-served students

New teachers get the toughest students in the highest needs schools Darling-Hammond, L. Recruiting and Retaining Teachers (2006). Forum for Education

Turnover is 50% higher in low income schools Huang, F. Tapping the potential (2004). Alliance for Excellent Education

Hardest to reach students have the least experienced teachers Darling-Hammond, L. Recruiting and Retaining Teachers (2006). Forum for Education


40% of teachers are leaving the profession within their first 5 years

CAUSES

• Lack of administrative and professional support

• Dissatisfaction with classroom management

• Few opportunities for professional development

• No input in decision-making

IMPACTS

• Teacher attrition costs the US $2.2B annually

• Unquantifiable opportunity cost for lost student learning

• There are 3.4M teachers with 500K leaving every year

Ingersoll, R. On the path to equity (2014). Alliance for Excellent Education


High quality teacher induction has proven to address these challenges

Improved Teacher Retention

• Consortium of Chicago School Research (2009) shows induction programs improve teacher retention by over 20%

Improved Teacher Practice

• Teachers of the Year (2014) reported a mentor had the greatest positive impact on their beginning years as a teacher

Improved Student Outcomes

• Mathematica Study (2008) showed increased student learning in math and reading for students with teachers in a high quality induction program


Few states have appropriate policy mandates Review of State Policy on Teacher Induction (2013). NTC

Induction is ill-defined Ingersoll, R. On the path to equity (2014). Alliance for Excellent Education

Huge inconsistencies in implementation and quality of programs Ingersoll, R. On the path to equity (2014). Alliance for Excellent Education

Inconsistencies between state-determined expectations and beginning teachers’ experiences Teaching, Empowering, Leading, & Learning Survey. NTC


It’s Time to Double Down on Impact

Elevating the profession while building the habits of mind and dispositions in teachers as leaders and change agents in their schools and classrooms

Closing the gaps in student achievement based on higher, more rigorous new state standards

And do so for every new teacher and every one of their students in America


Great teachers are not born. They are developed over their careers.
