The teacher shortage is nothing new. What is new is the urgency of needing to accelerate every student’s literacy skills while short staffed and under resourced. Many teachers are leaving or considering leaving the profession, while fewer and fewer are joining the ranks.

In addition, the pandemic has brought equity to the forefront of many educational decisions, and literacy is one of the cornerstones of equity. How can we continue improving the literacy skills of every student—not just those in elementary school—when our teachers are burned out and missing crucial support? The solution lies in ensuring literacy educators are valued, heard, and have access to the Science of Reading knowledge, as well as tools that take some work off teachers’ plates. Watch Dr. Liz Brooke for this edWebinar as she addresses the criticalness of teacher retention at this time, especially literacy educators, and how you can influence their decisions to stay.

This recorded edWebinar is of interest to K-12 school and district leaders.
