Over the past several years, states across the nation have seen a decline in the number of classroom teachers remaining in the profession. In November 2022, the Tennessee Department of Education launched work to begin a statewide Tennessee Teacher Retention Listening Tour to engage with Tennessee teachers across the state, hear their lived experiences in the classroom, and offer an opportunity for them to contribute input related to best practices or approaches to boost teacher retention across the state. After announcing the listening tour and inviting all current classroom teachers to participate, over 1,000 Tennessee educators statewide expressed interest in interviews, providing input and feedback, through engaging in surveys and more. Using a random sampling method to pull a representative group of 100 teachers to participate in ten cohorts, the department had representation from each region, grade level, district and school type, years of experience, and more. Over the past few months, the department strategically focused efforts on the Tennessee Teacher Retention Listening Tour, hosting insightful conversations with the ten different cohorts, totaling 3,590 minutes. This report outlines an overview of the findings from the Teacher Retention Listening Tour and provides specific input that can help the state retain the best teachers in Tennessee.
