There’s a shortage of teachers, which can be attributed to a lack of new teachers and retention of educators. Survey data of teachers, administrators, and former educators describing their perspectives on retention, strategies they have implemented, and those adopted within their work environments to enhance retention rates will be reviewed.
By the end of this session, the learner will be able to:
- Explain how retention impacts the personnel shortage in the field of deaf education.
- Describe survey data on what retention looks like in deaf education for teachers and administrators.
- Share strategies of how they support retention on a personal level and for individuals in their workplace.
