Awesome Results on Teacher Retention in New York
Here's a story that should have teacher advocates cheering:
"One in three teachers in New York will leave the classroom before their fifth year. It is a statistic the president of New York State United Teachers would like to see decline."
Why is this good news? Because turnover has been reduced from half, as has been claimed by NYSUT and its affiliates in 2004 (first paragraph), 2005 (ninth paragraph), 2006 (page 9, paragraph #7), and just last month (second paragraph).
So congratulations to everyone who worked so hard to increase the teacher retention rate in New York. The rest of the country awaits word of the strategies you used to solve this chronic problem.
