| Abstract: |
The article discusses the insights presented in "Going the Distance: The Teaching Profession in a Post-COVID World," which offers valuable lessons for educators, administrators, and teacher unions based on research involving 75 K–12 teachers across nine states during and after the pandemic. The authors identify key factors that contribute to teacher retention, emphasizing the importance of respect and involvement in decision-making processes for those categorized as “satisfied stayers.” In contrast, teachers who felt disrespected and micromanaged were more likely to leave the profession. The book is recommended for educational stakeholders aiming to foster a supportive environment for teachers and improve retention rates. [Extracted from the article] |
