Ensure Consistent Enforcement
Most complaints around student discipline involve a lack of consistent enforcement.
Protect and Support Teachers
Provide meaningful support and protection for teachers who deal with challenging student behaviors.
Implement Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS)
Implement evidence based multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) to help teachers, especially when dealing with students with recurring behavioral challenges.
Key Takeaway
Teacher retention depends in part on educators’ ability to maintain productive learning environments. Consistent discipline practices, robust MTSS implementation, and strong support systems for teachers facing recurring behavioral challenges can reduce stress, improve working conditions, and help retain high-quality educators.
