In this episode of the Accelerate Your Performance Podcast, Dr. Janet Pilcher invites Matt Renaud and Dr. Kyle Thompson, who both serve as Regional Superintendents for the Regional Offices of Education in Illinois, to discuss how they each work to help recruit and retain teachers in their districts. Listen now as they discuss many of their recruitment tactics from consistently looking for effective qualities (such as servant hearts and seeing good characteristics in everyone), to utilizing the TeacherReady program. Also, listen to how they retain their high-level teachers by ensuring they have room to grow and are supported in that growth.
