In recent years, the teaching profession has faced growing concerns over teacher attrition and absenteeism. Many educators are leaving the field or are increasingly absent, signaling underlying issues that threaten the stability and health of the profession. This session explores the trends driving these concerns, examining the impact of stress, burnout, organizational culture, and systemic challenges that contribute to teacher disengagement. We will also delve into potential solutions, offering strategies to foster a flourishing workplace where educators feel supported, valued, and empowered. Join us to discuss how schools and educational leaders can reshape environments to not only retain teachers but inspire them to thrive.
