Vivi 2026 Global Teacher Insights Report Part 1 on Teacher Retention and Part 2 on Classroom Safety

The critical early-career window

Jumps from 8% to 36%

The retention challenge leaders know too well.

Losing teachers costs students, schools, and budgets alike.

The encouraging part: the conditions that make teachers want to stay in classrooms are largely ones that leaders can shape.

Two parts. One Framework.

Both parts build on the same framework from our multi-year study: teachers feel successful when four key drivers are strong, with a sense of community and connection tying them together.

PART 1

Equipping Early-Career Teachers

Perceived success climbs from 8% to 36% as teachers gain experience. Part 1 shows how strong classroom management speeds up that climb.
