Keeping Good Teachers

We have known for some time that the single most important thing we can do to help students achieve high standards is to put qualified teachers in every class. Occasionally, outside critics may think that paying attention to teacher retention is a narrow, self-interested approach. But teacher retention is not something that can be easily addressed without addressing many other facets of school life. The story of J.E.B. Stuart High School suggests that the retention of good teachers comes about when a school improves itself for the sake of its students.
