Teacher retention remains a primary operational challenge for independent school leaders. Persistent workplace stress and changing workplace expectations directly affect staff stability, institutional morale, and the quality of the student experience. Building an environment where teachers feel supported, engaged, and able to grow is essential to long-term institutional health.

To help leaders navigate these dynamics, ISM has tracked teacher well-being, leadership practices, and cultural stressors across independent schools since 2024. Drawing on data from our multiyear research study, this webinar translates findings into actionable guidance tailored to the realities of independent school administration.

Join us to examine current trends in faculty experience, identify the primary drivers of burnout and mid-year departures, and explore practical leadership strategies that foster engagement and strengthen staff retention.

You will:

• Learn the results of our year long study
• Gain insights into the cultural variables that predict higher faculty well-being
• Discover what stressors increases faculty stress and exhaustion
• Take away strategies to create a culture that maximizes faculty retention

This webinar is for:

School Heads, Board Members, Deans of Faculty, Division Heads, and faculty members
