#21 Teacher Attrition Part 1 With Lucy Sorensen

Join me for a broad conversation with Dr. Lucy Sorensen, Associate Professor of Public Administration and Policy at the Rockefeller College of Public Affairs and Policy, University at Albany, SUNY, and a Faculty Fellow at the Nelson A. Rockefeller Institute of Government. Dr. Sorensen conducts research exploring interactions between education policy and human development, with a focus on how policy interventions can reduce educational and economic inequality. We discuss (1) the historical context of teacher attrition, (2) the why behind this problem, (3) hidden costs of teachers leaving the profession, (4) the current context, and (5) possible policy solutions. Enjoy!
