[quote=Anonymous]A school experiencing high levels of staff turnover and instability is often a failed school indicator.

This instability negatively impacts various aspects of a school's functioning and can hinder improvement efforts, ultimately affecting student achievement.   This is where CMI is at, and has been for a while now.

Here's why:

* Loss of institutional knowledge: When experienced teachers leave, the school loses valuable knowledge about its students, curriculum, and community, according to the University of Texas at Austin. This loss can disrupt existing social ties and networks of support, making it more challenging for the school to function effectively.
* Difficulty in building a positive school culture: A revolving door of staff members makes it difficult to establish and maintain a cohesive school culture based on trust, collaboration, and a shared vision. This lack of continuity can negatively impact teacher morale and student engagement.
* Reduced student performance: Studies have shown a correlation between high teacher turnover and lower student achievement, particularly in core subjects like reading and math, according to the American University School of Education Online. This is partly due to the increased reliance on less experienced or qualified substitute teachers and the disruption to students' learning consistency.
* Increased financial costs: Replacing teachers is an expensive process involving recruitment, hiring, and training costs. High turnover drains resources that could be better invested in teacher development or other school improvement initiatives, says the Learning Policy Institute.

In essence, high teacher turnover and staff instability create a ripple effect that undermines the school's ability to provide a consistent and quality education, ultimately making it a key indicator of a struggling or failing school. [/quote]
