REL Webinar: Improving Rural Teacher Retention

Based on my own background in rural education, if distance learning isn’t a part of this webinar I’m not sure what’s going on at IES.

Join REL Northwest for a one-hour webinar on how rural district and school leaders can develop localized strategies to address teacher working conditions with the goal of improving teacher retention. States, districts, and schools across the United States are struggling to retain teachers. High teacher turnover can have a negative impact on student achievement and result in high costs for districts when they need to recruit and train new teachers. During the webinar, REL Northwest will share research on the influence of working conditions on teacher retention and detail a process—used with Lower Kuskokwim School District in Alaska—for using research and local data to identify steps and strategies to address and improve teacher working conditions. The process includes the following: Reviewing research and local data Conducting a root cause analysis Developing a theory of action Developing plans for implementing strategies and collecting indicator data Conducting ongoing data collection to gauge how strategies are working Who should attend: Rural district and school leaders and staff interested in improving working conditions to improve teacher retention. Presenters: Trudy Cherasaro, Director, Marzano Research, REL Northwest David Yanoski, Researcher, Marzano Research, REL Northwest Kimberly Hankins, Superintendent, Lower Kuskokwim School District (Alaska) Dr. Jayne Downey, Associate Dean, Educator Preparation Director, Center for Research on Rural Education Improving Rural Teacher Retention: Developing Localized Strategies to Address Teacher Working Conditions Date: August 10, 2023 Time: 12:00–1:00 p.m. Pacific Register here ***** The Regional Educational Laboratories (RELs) build the capacity of educators to use data and research to improve student outcomes. Each REL responds to needs identified in its region and makes learning opportunities and other resources available to educators throughout the United States.

This is a paid advertisement for SmartBrief readers. The content does not necessarily reflect the view of SmartBrief or its Association partners. The digital divide affects almost one-third of K-12 public school students in the United States. In response to distance learning, districts quickly worked to find ways to connect students without Internet access at home. But we can’t stop now – it is crucial that we continue supporting these efforts even as students return to in-person learning. That’s why we are launching the 2021 Kajeet Digital Inclusion Grant. Through this program, we will partner with school districts, cities and towns, libraries, nonprofit organizations, and other community stakeholders in their vital efforts to provide learning opportunities to their students who need it most.   Grant winners will receive a pilot program with the Kajeet Digital Equity solution of their choice – WiFi hotspots, school bus WiFi, or building WiFi.   Applications are open now until June 4th. Learn more about the grant and apply at kajeet.net/digitalinclusion Apply for the Digital Inclusion Grant Copyright © 2021 Kajeet, Inc., All rights reserved.
