Why Human Capital Retention Dashboard?

To aid in staffing decisions

Assess staff recruitment and retention patterns

Which programs show stable staffing trends, and which have high turnover? Do these correlate to any increases or declines in student growth?

How does this data inform hiring processes? Do principals or LEA/district personnel need more help finding and keeping strong teachers on board?

Why Human Capital Retention Dashboard?

To aid in staffing decisions

Leverage strengths to support educators

Which educators might be strong candidates to serve as mentors? Which educators might benefit from targeted support and professional learning?

Is local capacity evident in the form of educators with high growth to help create resources, such as pacing guides and lesson plans that can be used across the LEA?

Why Human Capital Retention Dashboard?

To aid in staffing decisions

Discover trends in staff data based on student growth

Are teachers showing high student growth being retained? If not, why? What strategies can be used to retain them?

Are teachers showing low student growth being retained? If so, how can they best be supported in their professional practices?

Connect to Your Job-Alike Groups!

As you think about staffing & retention for 2024-2025,

think about your system’s trends…

Do growth trends improve if teachers stay in the same subject/ grade for two years?
Do teachers new to the subject/ grade have similar growth trends to staff retained in the same position?
What are the growth trends of teachers who exited the subject/ grade?
Are we replacing those who exited the subject/grade with teachers showing the same growth trends?
