Kansas Educator Engagement and Retention Study, 2022
Church, Bret; Simmering, Luke
Kansas Association of School Boards
A growing educator shortage is having significant impacts in schools and communities throughout the United States. In response to this growing concern, the Kansas Teacher Retention Initiative was launched in the summer of 2021, with a focus on measuring, understanding, interpreting, and disseminating data-driven insights regarding the driving factors of teacher retention within school districts and across the State of Kansas. The initiative seeks to provide actionable information and stimulate solutions-minded collaboration to improve teacher engagement and retention. In partnership with the Kansas Association of Schools Boards (KASB), Kansas National Education Association (KNEA), United School Administrators of Kansas(USA-KS), and Emporia State University, the inaugural Kansas Teacher Retention Survey was conducted between October and December of 2021. The survey explores the critical drivers of teacher engagement and retention in the State of Kansas. Over 20,000 educators participated in the survey, with a final sample size of 18,427. 71% of the respondents were K-12 classroom teachers. Likert scales were utilized to measure three areas: (1) Satisfaction with specific aspects of being an educator; (2) General 'Engagement' as an educator in the State of Kansas; and (3) Future intentions specific to leaving the profession, retiring, changing districts, or moving into administration.
