Abstract | Many school districts struggle to retain early career teachers, but the challenge is particularly pronounced in small and rural districts (Frahm & Cianca, 2021). The School-University Resource Network, a university center at William & Mary School of Education in Virginia, discovered this firsthand through a community of practice they facilitate with assistant superintendents who work in districts with 10,000 or fewer students. Assistant superintendents reported that larger, more resourced districts often wooed away early career teachers with incentives such as signing bonuses, higher salaries, and the promise of more support, leaving these smaller districts in a seemingly endless cycle of hiring new and often inexperienced teachers. From these conversations the Novice Teacher Academy, a program that supports novice teachers from small districts across the state. The program is a year-long experience designed to support early career teachers through in-person workshops and mentoring, online coaching, and supplemental teaching tools and strategies.
