BUT – they quit at far lower rates than any other profession.\u00a0 Public educators quit at a rate of 83 per 10,000 per month while workers overall quit at almost 3X time rate – 231 voluntary departures per 10,000 workers in 2018.<\/p>\n

Half of millennials — compared with 60% of non-millennials — strongly agree that they plan to be working at their company one year from now.<\/p>\n

So – teachers a leaving because this generation is not as connected as previous generations and with a great economy and low unemployment, teachers are leaving at greater rates.<\/p>\n

That means – there are great teaching jobs out there right now and we need more programs that help people get into the classroom quickly and efficiently.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
