Listen "Building a Culture Teachers Stay For"
Episode Synopsis
What does a Disneyland pass have to do with teacher retention? More than you might think. ASMSA Executive Director Corey Alderdice explores how Shonda Rhimes’ headline-making departure from ABC over a seemingly trivial perk reveals deeper truths about respect, trust, and feeling valued—and why those same dynamics play out every day in our schools. Drawing a surprising parallel to the recent University of Arkansas OEP study on teacher retention, this episode unpacks how small gestures and offhand comments can make or break a culture, and why leaders must be vigilant in showing people they matter long before they decide to walk away.For additional thoughts from Corey, visit coreyalderdice.com.You can also follow him on Twitter/X, LinkedIn, BlueSky, YouTube, Instagram, and Threads.
