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.
