Proven, actionable steps you can implement immediately to create a school where teachers want to stay—based on 30+ years of educational leadership experience.
You know the cycle. You hire a talented teacher. They're passionate, dedicated, great with kids. Two years later, they're gone. Maybe they went to another district. Maybe they left education entirely. And you're left wondering: What could I have done differently?
After serving as a principal for over 20 years—and watching colleagues across the country wrestle with the same challenges—I've identified five specific strategies that make the difference between schools that retain teachers and schools that constantly recruit.
How to identify and eliminate the time-wasters that drain teacher energy (and why most schools miss this entirely).
A practical system for giving teachers autonomy without sacrificing accountability—the #1 factor teachers cite when deciding to stay.
How to protect your teachers from district mandates and administrative overreach without putting your own job at risk.
The simple focus framework that eliminates initiative fatigue and gives teachers clarity about what actually matters.
A structured approach to including teacher input in decisions—moving beyond "listening sessions" to actual shared leadership.
This isn't theory. These are the exact strategies I used to reduce teacher turnover by 60% over three years—without additional funding, without permission from the district office, and without sacrificing academic outcomes. In fact, our test scores improved during the same period.
The guide is completely free. No strings attached. Just practical, implementable strategies from someone who's been in the principal's office and knows what actually works.
