    Why Teachers Leave: Lack of Support and Classroom Autonomy

    In this episode of Twee Bat, we explore why teachers leave the profession. Research shows that key factors include lack of administrative support for student behavior, limited classroom autonomy, and systemic pressures that contribute to stress and burnout.

    We break down what these challenges look like in real classrooms and discuss strategies schools can use to better support teachers and improve retention. This episode is essential listening for educators, administrators, and anyone interested in teacher well-being and education reform.
