The Public Education Promise Principle 3: Attract, Hire, Retain, & Reward the Best People
Use this assessment to support reflection and conversations in your district around attracting and retaining the right people.
Attracting, hiring, retaining, and rewarding the best people is not a human resources challenge, it is a leadership imperative.
When districts design human capital systems that honor belonging, elevate voice, support growth, and recognize contribution, they create environments where educators choose to stay and thrive.
This principle reminds us that the success of every other promise depends on the people who bring it to life. By aligning culture, systems, and leadership behaviors around what educators truly need to succeed, districts can build stable, inspired, and future-ready workforces—ensuring that every student benefits from adults who are committed, supported, and proud to serve.
