TEI: Opportunities and Implications Recruitment and Staffing – Strategic staffing and equitable distribution of effective teachers – Conduct longitudinal analysis to identify & prioritize teacher pipelines for recruitment Strategic Retention – Prioritize retention of Distinguished (DTR) teachers – Implement a comprehensive retention plan to support all new to district teachers in years 1-3 – Support development of career pathways Continuous Improvement of TEI – Solicit real-time feedback from teacher and administrator stakeholders through focus groups Funding Considerations – Conduct market analysis to ensure salary competitiveness – Ensure compensation strategy aligns to district outcomes 21
