  3. Opportunities • The job of teaching has changed and requires more and new personal attributes. • Teachers teach to their personal strengths, which may not match the evolving teaching jobs. • Matching the teacher with the job requires knowledge of the personal attributes specific to that job. • The business world knows that job satisfaction and retention is tied to knowledge, skills and personal attributes. Why should education be any different?

  4. Facts you need to know! • Nationally, over 25-30% of all teachers leave the profession within three to five years of their first job • After five years in a classroom, nearly 60 percent of teachers quit the profession. • Almost 80 percent of the demand for teachers represents the need to replace experienced teachers, not to fill new classroom positions.

  5. Why such huge turnover?? • Contrary to conventional wisdom, retirement is not an especially prominent factor in teacher turn over • 27 percent of teacher turnover accredited to teachers pursuing of other jobs • Another 29 percent leaving because of job dissatisfaction

  6. Of 29% who left because of job dissatisfaction • 61 percent cited poor salary • Another 32 percent cite Poor Administrative Support

  7. More facts in note! • Schools accept and ignore the problem by simply hiring replacements But at what cost?? • Tuesday, August 16th Norman Oklahoma newspaper “Oklahoma School Districts spend 56 Million dollars to replace lost teachers” Link of Note: http://www.dnainsights.com
