After nearly two decades of teaching in the U.S. and abroad, Mashal Hill witnessed first-hand the challenges that schools face in sourcing and retaining high-value teachers. While reflecting on her own practice prior to the pandemic, Mashal's conversations with colleagues and administrators about career growth potential, teacher burnout, and faculty turnover rates inspired her to use her insight and experience to address the international teacher shortage. In December 2019, she spearheaded a peer network of teachers and administrators who were sought support in the areas of career change, teacher attraction, and faculty retention. From there, Practice What You Teach was established as a PLC (professional loving community) focused on teachers' health and overall wellbeing.
