With teacher shortages and high turnover, schools need to give teachers support that makes them feel valued, respected, and confident.

To measure the impact of engage2learn’s job-embedded, competency-based coaching on teacher retention, we turned to third-party evaluator Learning Experience Design (LXD) Research to analyze teacher coaching and retention data from a large urban district partner during the 2017-2021 school years.

LXD’s research ultimately shows that educators who receive coaching from engage2learn and earn progress badges & microcredentials as evidence of growth are significantly more likely to stay in their role than those that do not, meeting the standard for ESSA Level 2 Moderate Evidence.
