"So Hard, but so Rewarding:" How School System Leaders Are Scaling up Strategic School Staffing Models
Lisa Chu; Lydia Rainey; Steven Weiner
Center on Reinventing Public Education
Innovative staffing models are promising, but challenging to scale up. What does the work of leading strategic staffing involve, and what could make scaling up easier? This report digs deep into the many challenges system leaders face when scaling up innovative staffing solutions. These leaders are trying to address longstanding teacher shortages and retention challenges by rethinking everything, including who they hire and how they design the job, provide support, build trust, and uproot old assumptions about the teaching role. The early results are promising: these leaders report fewer vacancies, higher staff satisfaction, and improved student learning experiences. This work is "so hard, but so rewarding"--and it could be much more manageable if policymakers, technical assistance providers, and researchers stepped up to share the load.
