 The number of teacher resignations in WELS during the 1980s was 287 while in the 2000s it jumped to 867 (Gurgel, 2012). That is a loss of 1000s of teachers in whom our synod has invested in preparing for ministry. The toll that these losses have on called workers, their families, and on those they serve is staggering. ​ In the spring of 2016, a majority of administrators who used NTI reported new teacher retention rates at or above 90% for the first five years of ministry. These numbers accounted for reported reasons as //new teacher’s family plans//​ (marriage/​ children),​ //​accepting calls//​ away from their schools, or the //​reassignment of tutors//. The number of teacher resignations in WELS during the 1980s was 287 while in the 2000s it jumped to 867 (Gurgel, 2012).

-A concern that some WELS schools and centers have is that some teachers leave the district in which they were originally ​hired. They might want to consider this quote from Harry Wong, **“It is far better to train your new teachers and lose them, than not to train them and keep them!”** ​   ​+A concern that some WELS schools and centers have is that some teachers leave the district in which they were originally ​called.
