The teacher
retention crisis
When great teachers leave, it costs more than money. Schools face $18,000+ in replacement costs, and the disruption can impact classroom continuity.
Retention starts with consistent appreciation
Teachers don’t leave because of a single bad day, they leave after long periods of feeling unseen.
While appreciation weeks and holiday gifts are meaningful, they aren’t enough to build lasting morale or retention.
Schools with strong cultures create consistent, ongoing moments of recognition, woven into everyday life, not limited to special occasions.
Strong culture leads to
better retention
When appreciation is consistent and shared across the school community, the impact goes far beyond morale.

A more personal way to support teachers and staff
