FYI LETTER TO EDUCATORS
Dear Educator,
The Teacher Shortage
Currently, the cost to recruit and support just one new teacher can exceed $20,000. With 38% in 2021 and up 16% now of those early career teachers leaving the profession in their first five years, those recruitment and support dollars are lost with each departing teacher.
Take Action
Join us at this year’s 5th annual FYI conference at Myrtle Beach as we once again encourage early career teachers and those who support them!
Last year’s FYI sessions included how NOT to lose early career teachers, best classroom management practices, supporting special populations, time management Perkins and more.
Call for Presentation Proposals
If you are an early career teacher or someone who supports them, and you would like to present at this year’s Find Your Inspiration conference, please complete a conference session proposal here:

Awards
Do you know an outstanding early career teacher? At this year’s conference we plan to recognize the FYI 2023 New Teacher of the Year. If you would like to nominate a teacher in their second, third or fourth year of teaching, who is doing an amazing job, please complete the nomination form.
New Teacher of the Year Nomination
Do you know an outstanding teacher in an alternative certification pathway? More and more teachers are entering the profession through alternative certification programs such as PACE, DIRECT, American Board, Teachers for Tomorrow, and others. These teachers may not have considered the teaching profession as their original career, but are finding great success in the classroom. If you would like to nominate an FYI 2023 Alternative Certified Teacher of the Year who is doing an amazing job, please complete the nomination form.
