BATON ROUGE, La., June 6, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Louisiana Department of Education (DOE) is pleased to announce an exciting opportunity for school systems to join the partnership between the DOE and Upbeat, an innovative teacher retention organization led by former teachers and school leaders. This partnership is designed as a part of the state's recruitment and retention strategy to elevate school climate and culture.

The DOE is looking for school systems throughout Louisiana to become part of this partnership at no cost to the school system. Upbeat will administer a comprehensive, research-based survey to staff in 125 schools across the state during the 2023-2024 school year to measure growth in research-based categories that impact teacher retention, including school climate, hiring and onboarding, professional development, teacher voice/leadership, and teacher appreciation.

Upbeat has partnered with Caddo Parish Public Schools since fall 2020 and St. Charles Parish Public Schools since 2019.

"The leadership team in Caddo Parish Public Schools was searching for a robust, research-based instrument to collect data that would assist leaders in understanding the factors impacting staff engagement and employee culture," said Karen Peace, Teacher Recruiter at Caddo Parish. "Upbeat has provided our district the necessary tools and support to help us identify areas of strength and areas for growth, while aiding administrators in reviewing the data and creating meaningful and impactful action plans,"

In addition to survey administration for the pilot schools across Louisiana, system leaders and principals will work with an Upbeat Leadership Coach, a former system or school leader, to examine data and understand key insights in the system's current retention and engagement efforts. Based on their individual school data, each principal will create an action plan with their coach to improve staff morale and culture to improve teacher retention.

"Systems play a crucial role in shaping the educational landscape of our state, and we are thrilled to invite them to join our partnership with the Louisiana Department of Education and Upbeat," said Brandy Garrett, Director of Leadership Development at the Louisiana DOE. "Together, we can work towards creating an environment that attracts and retains talented educators, ensuring the success of our students. We encourage all systems in Louisiana to seize this opportunity and be part of this impactful initiative."
