Visualizing Washington's Teacher Workforce: Using Maps to Understand the Trends of Teacher Recruitment and Retention

Teacher recruitment and retention is a complex issue. This project uses maps and publicly available data to visualize some of the challenges school districts in Washington are facing as they strive to recruit, train, and retain a diverse and skilled teaching force that reflects the racial/ethnic and linguistic diversity of the state's students--and is responsive to their learning needs.

This project explores eight topic areas that illustrate the large trends impacting Washington's teaching workforce.
