Teacher attraction and retention in hard-to-staff schools

澳大利亚正面临教师短缺危机。许多学校已经变得“难以配备人员”--这一点很明显，要么是缺乏教师，要么是教师流动率高。该项目的目的是为学校和教育系统为解决这一问题而实施的战略奠定基础。由于学校的位置，这些短缺可能对已经在教育方面处于弱势的年轻人造成严重后果。这是各国政府在国内和国际上的一个重大关切。该项目的一个重要成果将是如何最好地吸引和留住难以招聘教师的学校的教师。这将有利于教师职业、在难以配备工作人员的学校上学的年轻人和更广泛的社区。

Australia is facing a teacher shortage crisis. Many schools have become ‘hard-to-staff’ – evident through either a lack of teachers or a high teacher turnover. The aim of this project is to provide the foundations for strategies that can be implemented by schools and systems to address this problem. Due to the schools’ locations, these shortages can have severe consequences for already educationally vulnerable young people. This has been a significant concern of governments nationally and internationally. An important outcome from the project will be how best to attract and retain teachers in hard-to-staff schools. This will have benefits for the teaching profession, young people who attend hard-to-staff schools and the broader community.
