Why Participate in PLNs?

PLN’s and Pre-Service Teachers

Teacher Attrition• First 3 years of the teaching profession are considered a time of

“survival and discovery”

• 24% of teachers leave after two years and nearly 50% leave the profession within 5 years

• Lack of support was one of the reasons cited by new teachers for leaving the profession

• Schools implementing professional learning communities have reduced attrition rates
