Teachers are experiencing more burnout and job dissatisfaction than ever before, and many are leaving the profession entirely.  This is causing challenges for many out-of-school time (OST) providers when hiring staff for their programs.  By planning in advance, OST providers can help alleviate stressors that educators have experienced over the past two years and attract new talent for their programs. SCRI analyzed staff survey responses from the BellXcel 2021 Summer program and identified key strategies and recommendations for finding and retaining high quality staff: stressing the importance of strong relationships and collaboration, promoting a positive teaching environment and culture, ensuring flexibility and autonomy for staff, providing supportive leadership, prioritizing the opportunity for personal and professional growth, and having materials and resources readily available and accessible.
