are NSCAW III Workforce Study (2025) Poorly trained, unsupported supervisors are a leading contributor to driving workers out of child welfare and casework roles (NSCAW III Workforce Study, 2025). Research shows: • Satisfaction with supervision reduces turnover—especially early in the job. • Supervisors themselves lack support, affecting team stability. • Field-based training, like mentorship and shadowing, reduces new staff turnover by 39%. The fix? • Invest in supervisor training and mentorship • Promote reflective, two-way supervision • Use field-based onboarding • Retention must be a focus at all organizational levels Strong supervision = strong teams.

Education policy is ultimately about people. Behind every staffing challenge is a real classroom, a real teacher, and real students. When we talk about vacancies, shortages, or workforce trends, we are talking about daily realities in schools across Pennsylvania. A class covered by a substitute for months. A teacher stretched across multiple subjects. A student without consistent access to specialized instruction. Policy decisions shape these realities. If we want stronger outcomes for students, we need policies and investments that support educators and plan proactively for workforce needs.
