Raising Teacher Morale Collaborative

For 2024-2025, no issue is more urgent than the low levels of teacher morale across the nation. Low morale not only hinders retention and recruitment of high-quality educators but also impacts instructional quality and student support every day. Without engaged teachers, all other district initiatives will stall.

Many have tried solutions like wellness programs, praise, or bonuses to meet the needs of exhausted employees with limited success. However, low morale is not inevitable. Our research shows you can establish a systematic approach to raise morale and retention with lasting results. Join the next nationwide cohort of EAB’s Raising Teacher Morale Collaborative to build the proven, repeatable system in your district.

Sessions

This guided program will walk participants through step-by-step implementation of a systematic process for raising teacher morale, based on best practices from leading organizations across multiple industries. EAB experts will provide the insights and tools you need to successfully establish these practices in your schools, while a nationwide cohort of peers will create the community and shared accountability needed to see this through (and celebrate the results!).

• The collaborative consists of a five-session, intensive program that will run from January through May
• Participants will be led through a guided curriculum for the implementation of practices to diagnose sources of low morale, prioritize which to address first, and co-design solutions with district educators to ensure targeted, lasting results.
• Participants will receive access to EAB’s Teacher Morale Diagnostic, Threat Prioritization Playbook, Morale Booster Compendium, and all other necessary implementation resources.

This cohort is best suited for one executive sponsor (i.e., Superintendent) and one to two implementation leaders (i.e., Assistant Superintendent or Executive Director of HR) from each district.
