By 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?

By 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.’

Chronic Teacher Absenteeism Hits Some NYC Schools, Districts Hard

By Patrick Donachie | October 17, 2018
