A.
Educator's Thriving
Assists institutions with teacher retention. Educator's Thriving has offered Mission Prep nine professional development opportunities, such as identifying values, personal growth, and addressing team dynamics. Data on staff show some concerns around staff feeling depleted and stressed, but a high growth mindset and the feeling that leadership is responsive. Staff also noted that the school year is long and there is a communication gap in information needed for instruction.
