Abstract

Following the pandemic, pervasive challenges have plagued the teaching profession, including teacher shortages, burnout, job dissatisfaction, and attrition. A CRPE report proposes strategic school staffing models, which the report describes as "radically rethinking who they hire to educate students, how they design the job, and how they support educators to stay in the profession," as a solution. The report analyzes interview findings from school leaders it identifies as implementing strategic school staffing models, including how such models could be scaled, what challenges and supports leaders encountered, how the work can be supported, and the role of the school leader in strategic systems change. The report has multiple conceptual, design, and methodological flaws, including a lack of research evidence to support its conclusion that strategic school staffing initiatives remain “fragile” and are a recipe for leader burnout and potential failure to scale.
