The highlights:

• It starts with convincing principals that teachers are not easily replaceable.
•  Schools must focus on developing effective teachers into top performers.
• Schools must involve teachers in decision-making; survey data is not enough.
• "More than anything, teachers wanted the school to help us help students learn"

When teachers are not empowered to make changes in schools that would enable us to better serve our students, teachers leave and students lose out. It's time schools across the nation make it a priority to keep and develop their effective teachers and to involve teachers in that process. ~Alexandra Fuentes
