# Report: Teacher recruitment and retention

## **Shaping the Future of CPD**

### ***Recruit, train, develop, retain ***

#### Is worrying about teacher recruitment futile unless we solve the retention crisis? The #ShapingCPD report explores:

 

- The importance of addressing the **retention crisis**, in order to solve the recruitment crisis
- The need to develop a sense of **self and professional efficacy**
- The critical role of **leadership** and the development of a respectful **culture**
- The role of **career-long professional learning** and what makes it successful

It also shares **recommendations** for what teachers, schools and the wider system can do to **create and demand change** in our education system. 

 

#### “***We are not going to get*** *better outcomes* ***if we don’t have better teachers, so let’s just invest in them.*”**

###### **– Tim Matthews, Deputy Head at Oriel High School**
