Resources for Data on Recruitment and Retention: 

The Center for Teaching Quality (CTQ) is working with school districts to assess, understand and improve teacher working conditions. Teachers are asked questions about time, facilities and resources, empowerment, leadership and professional development -- all shown to have an impact on whether teachers stay in schools and, most importantly, whether students learn.

The Teacher Working Conditions Toolkit includes recommendations and strategies to empower community members, teachers, principals, administrators and policymakers to improve teacher working conditions, including time, facilities and resources, empowerment, leadership and professional development, all shown to have an impact on whether teachers stay and students learn.
