Research and observations on what actually keeps teachers at international schools
Most of what's written about teacher retention in international schools is either generic advice or anecdote. These pieces come out of structured research and direct work with schools — specific patterns, specific findings, and what they mean for the systems your school actually has in place.
Why exit interviews conducted in-house are almost always biased
The onboarding gap most international schools don't know they have
What "institutional betrayal" looks like in a school — and why it drives turnover
The compensation review most boards haven't done in years
Why a leadership transition is a retention risk, even when it goes well
What teachers actually mean when they say they don't feel like professionals here
If any of this sounds familiar, it's worth a closer look at your own school.
