University Instructors (UI)

Linda Darling-Hammond from the Learning Policy Institute, hit the nail on the head in this Forbes article on America’s growing teacher shortage, straining district budgets, and instructional quality. Research highlights several challenges surrounding the shortage: ∙ High turnover is costly for schools ($12,000–$25,000 per departure) ∙ Underprepared teachers leave at much higher rates ∙ High rates of teacher turnover reduce student achievement And when districts can’t hire enough fully prepared teachers, they often have no choice but to: ∙ Increase class sizes ∙ Cancel courses ∙ Rotate substitutes through a single classroom ∙ Rely on staff without sufficient preparation Rather than temporary fixes, districts need long-term strategies that strengthen their instructional workforce. This is why intentionally building educator pipelines, offering coaching, and supporting licensure pathways matters. EdForce helps recruit talent, support certification, and provide development that keeps teachers in classrooms—where they’re needed most. → Learn more about EdForce: https://lnkd.in/gKVqtNji Article: https://lnkd.in/gxgp7PNB #EdLeaders #K12Education #TeacherShortage #TeacherRetention #TheUIWay

High-impact tutoring is most effective when districts prioritize it. At University Instructors, we’ve seen that students make the strongest gains when tutoring provides more minutes on task, happens during the school day, and stays aligned to core curriculum. In District Administration, Susanna Loeb and Monica B. reinforce this point: The issue isn’t whether high-impact tutoring works—it does—but whether districts can manage the logistics to deliver it at scale. The University of Chicago Education Lab’s Personalized Learning Initiative studied 17,000+ students across eight tutoring programs and confirmed the trend: more in-school tutoring time leads to more learning. The barrier? Districts often don’t have the capacity to manage tutor recruiting, tutor training, curriculum alignment, and consistent tutoring delivery. With our tutorED solution, UI handles the full tutoring implementation process so districts can focus on student learning—not logistics. 🔗 Learn how to bring high-impact tutoring to your school: https://lnkd.in/gVsGg8DF 📖 Read the original article: https://lnkd.in/g3xg5SaF #EducationLeadership #HighImpactTutoring #K12Education #StudentSuccess #TheUIWay
