Lamb Consulting
We strengthen staff culture by working with school leaders on leadership skill building, organizational talent mapping, and culture audits. Our consulting services advance school wide stability by reducing attrition.
The pandemic has exacerbated what has always been difficult: retaining high quality talent. Schools are losing 16% of teachers at a cost of $20,000 per teacher.* The loss of high quality teachers destabilizes school culture and has a negative impact on student achievement.
Teachers enter the profession due to their interest in supporting students and their academic journeys. However, a growing number are leaving the classroom due to stress caused by negative workplace conditions. Among the top cited factors for teacher attrition are lack of administrative support and dissatisfaction with working conditions.
Our specialized leadership coaching and professional development focus on improving staff culture and working conditions that will disrupt attrition and improve teacher satisfaction. Teacher retention stabilizes adult culture and has a tremendous impact on students' academic and emotional outcomes. Our work will support you in building your ideal staff culture that will advance both your staff and student success.
