CityViews: To Reduce Teacher Turnover, City Must Increase Support

‘If we are serious about equity, then there is a moral imperative to provide teachers, especially new teachers serving our highest-needs students, the tools and support they need from the get-go.’

CITY VIEWS: OPINIONS and ANALYSIS

CityViews: Focusing on the Wrong Teacher Shortage Crisis in New York

Jim Malatras | October 29, 2018

‘The issue is more nuanced than the common portrayal of a statewide, across-the-board teacher shortage crisis. Any effective solution must begin with a more accurate understanding of the problem.’

Educators Linger in the Misunderstood ‘Teacher Reserve,’ a Byproduct of School Reforms

Patrick Donachie | October 19, 2018

Most members of the Absent Teacher Reserve aren’t there for disciplinary lapses. Many are trapped by a combination of reforms that put experienced teachers on the sideline and made it costly for principals to get them back in the game.

Missing Teachers

Will the City’s New Schools Contract Reduce the Unequal Impact of Teacher Turnover?

Patrick Donachie | October 18, 2018

‘If you just look at the data, we’re good,’ says one expert. ‘But if you look at the actual breakout of the teacher turnover rate, it is significantly higher in communities of color.’

Missing Teachers

Chronic Teacher Absenteeism Hits Some NYC Schools, Districts Hard

Patrick Donachie | October 17, 2018

There’s disagreement on how to measure chronic teacher absenteeism, and the causes of it are more complicated than you might assume. But there’s no denying big disparities in absentee rates—even among schools in the same district.

Missing Teachers

Patrick Donachie | October 16, 2018
