I chose this article because I wanted to know what steps I could take to avoid being burnt out of teaching within the first 5 years of teaching. It seems this is an overwhelming problem, and knowing what I was getting into would be a great first step to ensuring sanity while teaching.
The article focuses on steps which are vital to keeping teachers.
1) Hire professionals, particularly of color.
2) Improve teacher retention
3) Create Residency or support programs.
It seems as if having support, especially as a new teacher, is crucial to have, however, it is also expensive to pay for mentors and programs. However, the big thing to take away from this piece is we as educators can create our own support programs and not rely on the school to provide that support for us. It's the same principle that Jeff Heil spoke up when keeping connections in the community after we start our teaching.
