The 2024-2027 Teacher and Administrator Recruitment and Retention Plan for AMS Schools Arkansas focuses on three key areas: recruiting a diverse educator workforce, retaining a diverse educator workforce, and increasing the number of students pursuing education careers, particularly from minority groups. The plan outlines specific actions to achieve these goals, including targeted recruitment strategies (online job boards, partnerships with higher education institutions, career fairs), effective onboarding and professional development for new staff, competitive compensation and benefits, and initiatives to promote education as a career path among students. Progress will be measured using various metrics such as application numbers, hiring rates, staff retention, exit survey data, and student feedback.
