Some believe external factors like the economy are key, while others point to commitment from senior executives or a company's culture. However, the document argues that there is truth to all these perspectives, and that successful change depends on overcoming common challenges like lack of resources, internal resistance, and an inability to anticipate market trends. It also notes that as a consultant, the author has seen many projects that should have succeeded ultimately fail due to being sidetracked, under-resourced, or delayed, representing significant wasted costs.

The document summarizes a discussion between educational leaders from across Georgia about various topics impacting public education. The leaders represented different school districts, roles, and levels of experience. They discussed accountability metrics like CCRPI and teacher evaluations, standardized testing, the impact of poverty on student achievement, and challenges like frequent changes to testing and standards that impact the work of teachers and student learning. The educators welcomed accountability but sought to place more emphasis on student success and recognized the difficulties sub-groups face in meeting performance targets. They saw collaboration as a way to enhance student achievement and felt pressures of testing limited time for meaningful learning experiences.
How To Get Started Improving Your Efforts To Support And Assess Novice Teachersnoblex1
Many professions offer orientation and support experiences for professionals starting out in a field. Medical residents and law associates—even rookie baseball players—receive extended training, development, and mentoring (working alongside a seasoned expert) before taking on the responsibilities of a full professional. In contrast, novice teachers often are left to fend for themselves, with little or inadequate initiation into the profession.
However, an increasing number of school districts offer teacher induction programs to orient, support, assist, train, and assess teachers within their first three years of employment in public schools. Teacher induction is the process of socialization to the teaching profession, adjustment to the procedures and mores of a school site and school system, and development of effective instructional and classroom management skills. Participants in these programs are called inductees, a term which refers simultaneously to teachers who are new to the profession, and teachers with experience who are new to a district, grade level, or certification area.
Teacher induction programming can (and does) take many forms. Induction activities can range from a short orientation session, to mentoring programs, to staff development courses and workshops, to multiyear programs that continue to meet the changing needs of teachers as they develop. Many districts combine several activities to support new teachers.
Why are induction programs needed?
Influx of new hires
Due to escalating teacher retirements and rising student enrollments, the nation currently faces a shortage of qualified teachers. America will need to hire some two million K-12 teachers over the next decade. Although high-wealth suburban districts will always have a glut of applicants, low-wealth urban districts face a hiring demand of 900,000 teachers or more over the next decade.
High attrition rates
Just this year, America's urban school districts will need new teachers to fill some of the nation's most challenging classroom assignments. All too many of these new recruits face battlefield odds as to whether they will still be teaching five years from now. No matter how well they did in college, teacher preparation, or another career, teachers can be overwhelmed by their first years in the classroom. It has been estimated that 30% to 50% of beginning teachers leave in the first five years of teaching.
Reality shock
Central-city public schools are more likely to fill positions with “less than qualified” new teachers than are large or small towns. Even experienced teachers embarking on assignments in new cities or academic disciplines can be sorely tested, especially if they are unfamiliar with the urban environment.

American education is facing challenges including budget cuts, increased standards, and high teacher attrition. Effective talent management can help districts improve teacher effectiveness and retention by providing personalized learning, tracking performance, and supporting career growth. Integrated talent management systems allow districts to deliver differentiated instruction to educators through all stages of their career. These systems make talent management more efficient and data-driven while empowering teachers with customized development opportunities. Case studies show districts that implement talent management software see benefits like increased compliance, insight into training needs, and improved outcomes.

This document summarizes challenges with North Carolina's teacher pay system and makes recommendations for strengthening compensation. Specifically, it finds that:
- Teacher pay has not kept pace with other female-dominated professions and offers few opportunities for advancement, undermining retention.
- Starting salaries are not competitive regionally, making recruitment difficult.
- Pay increases mainly based on experience and education reinforce inequities in student access to teachers.
- Differentiated pay is needed to fill hard-to-staff positions and schools.
Strategic investments in teacher pay that reward performance and support recruitment/retention can boost student achievement while maximizing funding.
Professionals in education shared their hopes for 2017, including: greater diversity in school leadership; researchers better communicating findings to help teaching; unqualified teachers becoming outstanding with proper support; addressing workload and recruitment issues; grassroots support for women leaders; embracing educational research; governance playing a bigger role; and a "maker movement" with technology in classrooms.
The principal led a low-performing elementary school to become the highest performing in the district within 4 years. Test scores rose through detailed analysis of instruction and alignment of curriculum with assessments. Students were monitored individually and given targeted support plans. Learning was prioritized over interruptions, and assessment data was carefully reviewed. Engaging parents in students' progress and transition to middle school contributed to the school's success. Quality teaching that students and parents connected with made the biggest impact on achievement.

Irreplaceables briefing deck north carolina feb 2013 v3Keith Eades
The document discusses "Irreplaceable" teachers, who are highly effective and successful teachers that are nearly impossible to replace. It finds that low-performing schools often hire less effective replacements when an Irreplaceable teacher leaves. Additionally, most schools retain Irreplaceable teachers and low-performing teachers at similar rates. The document argues that poor leadership, working conditions, and policies contribute to Irreplaceable teachers leaving at similar rates as low performers. It advocates for a focus on retaining Irreplaceable teachers through improved leadership, working conditions, and policies.
PeopleAdmin is a leading provider of cloud-based talent management solutions designed to help K-12 school districts attract, recruit, develop, and retain a diverse staff. Their talent management suite has helped thousands of schools hire the best candidates and manage personnel records. Research shows there is a diversity disparity between the racial and ethnic makeup of students and teachers in U.S. schools. While students are about 50% white and 50% minority, only 10% of teachers are minority and 40% of schools don't have a single teacher of color. True diversity means having teachers and staff from various races, ethnicities, and backgrounds to reflect the student population.
This document provides an agenda for the OERC Fall 2014 Conference on using data to inform policy, practice, and teacher success. The conference included panels on preparing effective teachers, bridging opportunity gaps, and national staffing needs in education. It also featured a keynote on the economic value of teacher quality and breakout sessions. The goal of the conference was to discuss how to improve teacher preparation programs and support, recruit high-quality teachers, and address challenges in underserved areas through collaboration between education institutions and districts.
The document discusses college readiness among American students. It notes that while college enrollment is at an all-time high, less than half of students complete their degrees. This suggests that many students are placed in college but are unprepared. The paper then explores teacher effectiveness as a solution, describing how one principal overhauled a low-performing school by focusing on improving teacher quality. Within three years, student achievement increased dramatically as teachers became more effective. The conclusion is that effective teachers are the key to student success and readiness for college or careers.

The Scenario
The Woodson Foundation, a large nonprofit social service agency, is teaming up with the public school system in Washington, D.C., to improve student outcomes. There’s ample room for improvement. The schools have problems with truancy, low student performance, and crime. New staff quickly burn out as their initial enthusiasm for helping students is blunted by the harsh realities they encounter in the classroom. Turnover among new teachers is very high, and many of the best and brightest are the most likely to leave for schools that aren’t as troubled.
The plan is to create an experimental after-school program that will combine the Woodson Foundation’s skill in raising private money and coordinating community leaders with the educational expertise of school staff. Ideally, the system will be financially self-sufficient, which is important because less money is available for schools than in the past. After several months of negotiation, the leaders of the Woodson Foundation and the school system have agreed that the best course is to develop a new agency that will draw on resources from both organizations. The Woodson foundation will provide logistical support and program development and measurement staff; the school system will provide classrooms and teaching staff.
The first stage in bringing this new plan to fruition is the formation of an executive development team. This team will span multiple functional areas and establish the operating plan for improving school performance. Its cross-organizational nature means representatives from both the Woodson Foundation and the school district must participate. The National Coalition for Parental Involvement in Education (NCPIE) is also going to be a major partner in the program, acting as a representative for parents on behalf of the PTA.
Conflict and Agreement in the Development Team
While it would be perfect if all the groups could work together easily to improve student outcomes, there is little doubt some substantive conflicts will arise. Each group has its own interests, and in some cases these are directly opposed to one another.
School district representatives want to ensure the new jobs will be unionized and will operate in a way consistent with current .
In the summer of 2013, The Missouri Board of Education
posed the question: what is the appropriate role for
the state in the support of and possible intervention
in unaccredited school districts, if the goal is achieving
dramatic student achievement gains? This report
provides recommendations to answer that question
and represents a comprehensive vision for an urban
school system that fosters the conditions schools,
educators, parents, and students need for success.
While we focus here on the Kansas City Public Schools
(KCPS), these recommendations could also guide state
intervention in other unaccredited districts.
The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) aims to improve education by holding teachers accountable, empowering parents, and ensuring all students achieve academic standards. It requires teachers to be highly qualified and uses testing to monitor student progress and teacher performance. Supporters believe NCLB benefits students and communities by providing oversight of schools and allowing progress tracking. However, critics argue it has increased academic competitiveness and raised graduation requirements to an unreasonably difficult level. The act also demands teachers use data from student assessments to inform instructional decisions and continuously evaluate and modify their teaching methods to address learning needs.
DeWarren K. Langley completed a questionnaire for the Durham Public School Board of Education. He answered 11 questions about why he wants to serve on the board, the role of board members, the superintendent search process, teacher and student evaluations, increasing segregation, suspension policies, charter schools, vouchers, supporting at-risk students, why parents choose other schools, and three improvements he would make. He emphasized supporting student achievement, teacher satisfaction, and community partnerships.

What if teaching were
the most attractive
and compelling profession
in the nation? Hi! I’m thinking about
teaching in your district.
What do you think?
2. Schooling is the most human of enterprises. The
mark of great schools is not this reading program or
that staffing model, but educators who approach these
things with verve, expertise, clarity, and commitment. In
successful schools, educators are invested in the
program, have time to get good at it, and cooperate
to make it work.

Editor's Notes
And this is before we even think about teacher quality – which, according to the data, is the most important factor in a student’s academic performance. But there is no relationship between teacher quality – or measured student outcomes – and how we compensate teachers, let alone how we assign them to schools, or the kinds of supports we provide.
Today, we are experiencing a teacher shortage. There are a lot of reasons for this, some of which have been in the works for decades. But one major contributing factor is the fact that teaching has become even less desirable as a profession than it was just a few years ago. We need more teachers, but the supply of people who want to teach is shrinking. This all happened in a slow economy, when job prospects for many people weren’t all that good – that’s how much many people don’t want to teach.
