Equitable Decisionmaking for the Retention of Diverse Educators Toolkit

We have designed this free Toolkit to support school and district leaders in their efforts to:

• Develop a deep and nuanced understanding of the experiences and challenges of classroom educators related to the social and emotional dimensions of learning, wellbeing and relationships
• Collaborate with educators and school leaders to co-design solutions that will address the root causes of decreased teacher morale and retention in their schools.

This Toolkit does not provide answers or solutions to the challenges facing teachers, but rather provides a step-by-step process for school and district leaders to craft solutions specific to local context and needs, supported by stories and research from educators across the country.

Throughout a robust equitable decisionmaking process, school and district leaders will gather empathy data to better understand the specific challenges facing teachers in their buildings and will then work alongside those teachers to design solutions for the challenges specific to their context.
