Texas Teachers Face Exodus: National Board Certification Offers Retention Solution

The Texas Legislative Budget Board reports that eighty percent of teachers have considered leaving due to high turnover rates. National Board Certification, which allows experienced educators to advance while staying in the classroom, is gaining traction as a solution. Chris Mihealsick, the 2025 Texas Teacher of the Year, shares her experience with the certification, which she earned in 2008 and has since used to mentor others. Schools like Round Rock Independent School District are offering stipends, cohort programs, and mentoring to encourage teachers to pursue certification and stay in the classroom.
