Description
The Teacher Gap by Rebecca Allen and Sam Sims explores the current state of teaching in schools. A combination of factors, including administrative demands, curriculum reform, and an audit culture, has led to a decline in teacher morale and effectiveness. This book aims to address this issue by examining the root causes of the problem and providing practical solutions for improving teacher recruitment, training, and retention. Drawing on research from economics, psychology, and education, as well as interviews with current and former teachers, The Teacher Gap sets out a clear message: giving teachers a career worth having is essential. With end-of-chapter guidance for schools, this book offers valuable insights into how to better support the next generation of educators.
