About This Episode
The Teacher Retention Problem with Josh Czupryk
Pete and Stephanie talk with Josh Czupryk about how the education job market is changing as ESSER funds expire and districts face tighter budgets.
Josh shares what his data shows about which roles are shrinking, which ones are growing, and why clarity of value matters more than ever for organizations serving schools.
They dig into what is really driving teacher turnover, the one question every school leader should ask by October, and how respect, not money alone, keeps great teachers in the classroom.
