This course explores the critical role of leadership in addressing teacher retention by focusing on the experiences and needs of beginning educators. Participants will examine the key factors contributing to early-career teacher attrition, including workload demands, classroom complexity, and gaps in systemic support. Grounded in adult learning theory and early-career development, the course provides a framework for understanding how teachers grow—and where they are most vulnerable. This course qualifies for teacher and principal renewal credits.
Building on this foundation, participants will engage with research-based leadership practices that directly impact new teacher success. Emphasis is placed on creating clarity, delivering meaningful feedback, and fostering psychologically safe environments where beginning educators can develop confidence and instructional skill. Leaders will reflect on how their communication, decision-making, and expectations shape teacher engagement and long-term commitment.
The course also centers on the importance of well-being and organizational culture in sustaining educators. Participants will explore strategies to design supportive systems that promote balance, trust, and inclusion, while addressing the structural conditions that contribute to burnout. By the end of the course, leaders will be equipped with practical approaches to strengthen retention through intentional leadership, supportive culture, and sustainable practices for beginning teachers.
