GCS hires about 500 teachers each school year with increasing numbers (more than half of our teaching workforce) brand new and lateral entry teachers .
As we work to recover from two disrupted years of learning, it is essential that we recruit, retain and reward our highly effective staff members to meet the needs of students across the district.
Initiatives to Address Challenges
Recruitment & retention incentives for high need subject areas and low-performing schools
Teacher Residencies for math
Tuition assistance for classified & support staff/alternative pathways to teaching. Support for Human Resource recruitment efforts
Partnerships to retain high quality teachers (filling long-term sub & other hard-to-fill vacancies)
