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.
