A new study found that urban schools are systematically neglecting their best teachers, losing tens of thousands every year, as they keep many of their lowest-performing teachers indefinitely.
The study by TNTP, a national nonprofit dedicated to ensuring that all students get excellent teachers, documents the real teacher retention crisis in America’s schools: not only a failure to retain enough teachers, but a failure to retain the right teachers. This is leading to disastrous consequences for students, schools, and the teaching profession, according to the study.
