The teacher retention Solution
Online Workshop with Adam Voigt
Tuesday 8 September 2026
2.00pm AEST
Are you a school leader at a Real Schools partner school?
Adam is running a live masterclass of the The Teacher Retention Solution just for partners.
You can’t fix the teacher shortage.
But you can make your school harder to leave.
Find out what makes great teachers stay – and what you can do to keep more of them.
Teacher shortages are real. So are workload, behaviour pressures and the growing demands of the profession.
But they don’t explain why great teachers stay in some schools and leave others.
That’s the part school leaders can do something about.
The Teacher Retention Solution will help you understand what’s actually influencing attraction, retention and engagement in your school – and where leadership can make a difference.
You’ll identify the factors you can control, the warning signs you may be missing and the practical changes that can make your school a place where great teachers want to stay, contribute and build their career.
Because you might not be able to solve the teacher shortage.
But you can get better at keeping the great teachers you already have.
Great teachers don’t just leave the profession.
They leave schools.
Adam Voigt’s Teacher Retention Solution Workshop kicks off in…
Attract. Develop. Retain.
Teacher retention comes down to three things you can influence.
Teacher retention doesn’t start when someone hands in their resignation.
It starts with who you ATTRACT, is strengthened by how you DEVELOP them, and depends on creating the conditions to RETAIN great teachers for the long term.
In 90 minutes, Adam Voigt will help you apply all three to your school.
ATTRACT
Bring the right teachers into your school.
Get clearer about what great teachers are looking for, what your school genuinely offers and the attributes, behaviours and dispositions that matter when you appoint.
DEVELOP
Give great teachers a future worth staying for.
Explore how professional growth, autonomy, collaboration and meaningful career conversations help teachers get better, contribute more and see a future in your school.
RETAIN
Know what makes great teachers want to stay.
Look at the conditions that shape their everyday experience – trust, belonging, workload, behaviour support, voice, relationships and leadership – and identify what’s strengthening retention and what may be quietly pushing good people towards the door.
Stop guessing. Know where to act.
You won’t leave with another enormous list of things to do. You’ll leave knowing where your attention matters most.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll be clearer on:
- What’s really driving retention in your school – beyond the assumptions and sector-wide explanations.
- Where your biggest risk sits across ATTRACT, DEVELOP and RETAIN.
- Which conditions are helping your best teachers stay — and which may be quietly pushing them towards the door.
- What leadership can genuinely influence and what sits outside your control.
- Who you most need to be talking to before an exit interview becomes necessary.
- What to do next to strengthen retention without creating another sprawling school initiative.
The teacher shortage is bigger than just your school.
But teacher retention isn’t.
$100. Your whole leadership team. And a plan to act.
We’ll take you from understanding the problem to doing something about it.

The Teacher Retention Solution
This is not another workshop that leaves you with more to think about.
It’s one that helps you decide what to do.
