The Return on Coaching

COACHING IS AN EFFECTIVE STRATEGY TO REDUCE THE EDUCATOR SHORTAGE

Given the associations between optimal professional development (early career supports, ongoing professional development, and relationships that capitalize on teachers’ professional judgment) and teacher retention and recruitment, efforts to establish a system of supports and a real learning community would also help address the teacher shortage.
Garcia and Weiss (2019)

Among early-career teachers, teachers in schools without curricular coaches are approximately twice as likely to leave the profession the next year compared to teachers in schools with curricular coaches.
De Jong and Campoli (2018)
