The Art of Teaching

Professor Richard M. Ingersoll: teacher turnover and retention and the importance of teacher voice and autonomy.


Listen Later

Richard Ingersoll is the leading expert on America’s teaching force. He examines teaching as a job, teachers as employees, and schools as workplaces. He frequently presents information to policymakers at the national, state, and local levels.


Richard’s research is internationally recognised; he was cited by President Clinton in a number of speeches announcing his teacher recruitment and training initiatives, and President Obama’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.

He has published over 100 articles, reports, chapters, and essays on topics such as the management and organization of schools; accountability and control in schools; and teacher supply, demand, shortages, and turnover. 

In this wide-ranging discussion, we talked about many things, including: 

  1. Why authors John Goldsworthy and Kingsley William Amis have had such an impact on his life. 
  • Why he believes that there isn’t a teacher shortage in America, rather it is a retention and turnover issue. 
  • The importance of challenging convention and assumptions with empirical and quantifiable data. 
  • The role of management, organizational and school culture
  • Professor Ingersol was a delight to interview and his body and scope of works are simply breathtaking. I hope that you get as much out of this discussion that I did.
