16% of K–12 teachers plan to leave the profession this year, and your district will spend more to replace than it would have spent trying to keep them.   
 
Not every teacher who leaves submits a resignation letter right away. Many disengage months earlier, still showing up but no longer contributing beyond the minimum. Teacher retention isn’t a culture issue solved with appreciation weeks. It’s a systems problem.  
 
This webinar brings together two critical perspectives:  
  • How to detect the early warning signs of burnout and “hidden resignation”   
  • How to build a proactive, data-driven retention strategy that prevents those exits in the first place   

​​​​​​​What You’ll Learn  
  • The true cost of teacher turnover  
    Understand the financial and instructional impact and how to build a compelling business case for retention.   
  • The “hidden resignation” gap  
    Learn how teachers mentally disengage months before leaving and why that gap is one of the most expensive blind spots in K-12 HR.   
  • How burnout and attrition vary across your workforce  
    Understand key demographic patterns (early-career teachers, women, teachers of color) and why segmentation is critical for effective intervention.   
  • Why stay conversations outperform exit interviews  
    Replace retrospective insights with real-time diagnostics that actually prevent turnover.   
 ​​​​​​​
