Early Warning Dashboard
The cost of losing a great teacher is felt long before they resign. This dashboard helps leaders spot the early, quiet signals — fading engagement, mounting workload, a stalled growth path — while there is still time to respond with support. Early, supportive intervention is far more effective than reactive replacement.
Supportive, not surveillance. Every indicator here is a prompt for a caring conversation, not a verdict. All data is illustrative.
Retention-risk calculator
Rate where a teacher (or a team) sits on each retention factor. The tool returns a retention-health profile and proactive, leadership-led moves to make first.
Risk-indicator scan
A workforce-level read on the early signals most associated with teachers leaving. Watch the amber and red cards first.
Risk cohorts & proactive interventions
Each cohort below pairs an early signal with the recommended supportive move. Click a row to expand.
Pair with a mentor, audit and trim non-essential tasks, and schedule a weekly supportive check-in. Protect planning time first — workload is the leading driver of early exits.
Open a stay-conversation, listen for what changed, and co-design one meaningful role or project. Re-engagement, not replacement, is the goal.
Offer a concrete growth or teacher-leadership opportunity. Your strongest teachers leave when they stop being challenged or seen.
Invite them into a decision that affects their work — and visibly act on their input. Voice builds ownership and commitment.
Increase instructional and emotional support; commit to a steady cadence of check-ins. Felt support is foundational to staying.
🎓 Why early, supportive intervention wins
The research is clear: teachers rarely leave overnight. Engagement, workload, recognition, and growth signals shift well in advance — and leaders who notice and respond early, with genuine support, keep teachers who would otherwise have walked. Reactive replacement is costly in money, momentum, and culture; proactive care is cheaper and kinder. Read the research →
