The school year has begun, contracts are signed, and yet one challenge looms large: retention. With teacher turnover near 22%, and close to 30% in urban districts, how can districts keep great educators?

Frontline’s K-12 Lens survey, combined with Recruiting & Hiring data, provides a clear look at today’s K-12 talent market and what it means for retention.

In this live panel, HR leaders from school districts and EdTech will discuss how they are rethinking retention from the very first interaction and creating cultures where teachers choose to stay.

You’ll discover:

  • How to build a district brand that attracts the right cultural fit.
  • Ways to personalize onboarding, evaluations, and professional learning.
  • Proven strategies to create a “sticky” employee experience.
  • A 360° snapshot of the K-12 hiring landscape.
