  • New survey targets educators who change positions

    The Delaware Department of Education has launched a new survey to learn more from educators changing positons and help stakeholders better understand educator workforce patterns across the state. Understanding why educators change roles or leave their positions will help local leaders to target approaches to improve recruitment and retention efforts in their districts or schools. The Delaware Department of Education will use statewide data to identify and implement new strategies to attract and retain teachers, school leaders, and other educators across the state.
