Support your students by ensuring you recruit, engage, and retain great teachers
Attracting and retaining excellent teachers is one of the most important factors for student success and well-being. However, teacher shortages and lack of resources can make finding, nurturing, and retaining top talent difficult.
Hanover offers a suite of solutions to help district leaders support educators. From recruitment, engagement, and retention to supporting teachers with flexible professional learning tools, we will work with you to analyze your district’s current performance and develop an action plan to cultivate supported, empowered teachers.

Create an environment where teachers want to work and grow
Recruit top teaching talent
Our experts will compare your district's teacher salaries and benefits to peer districts within your state, region, or nationally and provide recommendations based on your salary and benefits schedule.
Support teacher well-being
This survey examines staff perceptions of equity and inclusion, identifies subgroups that may need additional support or resources, and tracks district progress over time.
Set professional learning goals and strategies for teachers
Your Hanover advisory team will partner with you to build and implement a district-wide professional learning plan in order to support your teachers' success and growth.
Offer the right professional learning opportunities for teachers
We will assess your staff's current professional development needs to ensure your teachers have the professional learning they need to excel.
Ensure teachers have the operational skills they need to provide excellent instruction
Our online professional learning platform offers customizable learning modules and a resource library of tools to expand teacher capabilities and support practitioner learning that is convenient and sustainable.
Improve teacher recruitment and retention
Hanover will identify historical trends related to teacher retention in your district and identify profiles of teachers who stay and those who leave.

Hanover Surveys Help Bakersfield Meet its Teachers’ Professional Development Needs
“We want our teachers to give feedback and lead sessions, focusing on a culture of collective efficacy to support our belief system. Having a partner like Hanover Research fits a longstanding need in our district. We have been able to make the progress we’ve made because we have a third-party vendor…we’re positioned for great success.”
– Mark Luque; Assistant Superintendent, Educational Services

Why Amherst County Public Schools is Partnering with Hanover Research
“One of our biggest goals for the year is to create an infrastructure that will have the capacity to focus on high-quality professional growth of staff. We decided to engage with Hanover because we needed an outside ‘eye’ to provide recommendations and best practices concerning our greatest needs. We anticipate the Professional Development Project having the biggest impact on our institution—if we can improve all of the adults in our division, then outcomes for students will improve, and that is what public education is about. Institutions do not have all of the answers, therefore seeing different perspectives is crucial.”
– Dr. Robert J. Arnold, Superintendent
