Abstract
This report is part of a larger teacher recruitment and retention movement that began in
April 2005 with the Teacher Recruitment and Retention Conference, which was held on
April 6–7 in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. At the conference, educational leaders from
across the state shared their ideas for improving teacher hiring and retention. These
discussions provided the impetus for this effort, as representatives from DASL, the
Delaware Department of Education, and the Rodel Foundation attempted to clarify
particular issues around teacher employment and attrition in Delaware school districts.
This report documents these groups’ activities from May 2005 to April 2006. This
documentation will continue with Phase Two of this research, as these leaders attempt to
develop a better understanding of the “teacher pipeline” (or teacher supply and demand)
in the state.
