Outdated Tools Are Costing You Time and Talent

Spreadsheets, emails, and guesswork might feel familiar—but they’re clogging your district’s teacher talent pipeline. With today’s record-level teacher turnover and burnout, K-12 districts don’t have time or resources to waste. Traditional methods risk:

  • Mismatched mentor-mentee pairs that lead to poor outcomes
  • High teacher turnover and costly replacements
  • Misalignment between placements and long-term hiring needs
  • Wasted admin hours managing placements manually

Teacher turnover costs districts up to $25,000 per vacancy (Learning Policy Institute, 2024). Can you afford inefficiency?

"Torace is a lifesaver! I placed more than 70 teachers using the platform in one year, and the detailed information about cooperating teachers and mentees enabled more thoughtful, intentional matches. The better the match, the better the experience, and the more likely the teacher will be hired once certified.”
