With Insight's systemic and on-the-ground supports, gain traction on your most important teacher recruitment and retention priorities.
There are many daunting challenges facing schools and districts when it comes to recruiting and retaining effective teachers. A teacher shortage with not enough graduates from schools of education entering the teaching workforce, a competitive job market, and more choice than ever on where teachers can teach or work—just to name a few.
But there is hope. By prioritizing recruitment and retention in a new, systemic way, districts and schools are experiencing increased success in finding and retaining those teachers their students desperately need.
Insight offers several supports to help your school or district build your teacher recruitment and retention systems.
SIX WAYS INSIGHT CAN SUPPORT YOUR SCHOOL OR DISTRICT
Support 1: Workshop for Teacher Recruitment & Retention for District & School Leaders
Recruiting teachers in the last five years has radically changed and district leaders are finding it harder to find enough candidates who are successful in their districts. This workshop gives leaders a new mindset and proven tactics on how to attract and keep the candidates they’re looking for.
Serving as an excellent kick-off for a new mindset and building a system for teacher recruitment and retention, this in-person and popular Insight workshop will provide an engaging professional growth session for your district leaders and principals.

Support 2: Recruitment Quality District Review
The most successful districts start their teacher recruitment seasons by November. In order to prepare your next recruitment season, start with unpacking where your district and schools stand with recruitment and retention, including what’s working and what’s not, so you can attract and keep more highly effective teachers.
Insight conducts deep, impartial assessments of district and school recruitment (and retention) systems. The reviews are living processes by teaming with district leaders, principals, teachers, and other educators to conduct a root-cause analysis and translate evidence directly into action.
Based on the five characteristics of an effective recruitment system and 10 steps for effective recruitment, the review looks at policy, practice, and resource allocation for an effective recruitment system.
