These gaps are commonly not revealed during traditional school drills, table top exercises, functional exercises and full - scale exercises due to
the inherent lack of opportunity for independent decision making for these types of drills and exercises.
Furthermore, by supporting career pathways, schools and districts can mitigate one
of the primary reasons for teacher attrition: a
lack of upward mobility in the teaching profession.49 Mid-career teachers are especially interested in «hybrid teaching roles,» which provide teachers with leadership
opportunities while allowing them to continue working with students part - time in the classroom.50 An added benefit
of hybrid teaching roles is that they expand the responsibilities
inherent to a teacher's career, enhancing how teachers are perceived as professionals and providing a rationale for higher teacher salaries.
