I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Pam Grossman. "Dr. Grossman is a leading expert in teacher preparation, teacher quality, and teacher professional development. A former high school English teacher, Dr. Grossman is at the forefront of rethinking how teachers are educated and studying the connections between the support they receive, the quality of their classroom practice, the likelihood they remain in teaching, and student learning." This is the last of a collection of four episodes recorded in early 2022 on the topic of teacher attrition. We discuss the impact of school and district leadership on teacher turnover, the challenges that different types of schools face in retaining high-quality teachers, potential policy solutions to high rates of teacher resignation, and more. Enjoy.
