CASS, in collaboration with Alberta Education, conducted the “Education Workforce Study: Teacher and Leader Recruitment and Retention in Alberta” to understand the current recruitment and retention of educators in Alberta. Involving 54 school authorities across all CASS Zones, the research findings indicate stable retention rates, but highlight challenges in filling specialized teaching positions, particularly in rural areas. The study also emphasizes the importance of effective recruitment and retention strategies tailored to local needs, recognizing that these efforts are crucial for maintaining a stable, skilled workforce to support student success in Alberta.
