Case Study: Alexandria City Public Schools achieves streamlined teacher support and improved retention with PowerSchool Unified Talent

Using PowerSchool Unified TalentTM to help administrators support teacher growth

Alexandria City Public Schools struggled with disjointed talent management: hiring, evaluations, and professional learning were handled in separate systems, creating data silos that made it time-consuming to track teacher development, produced paperwork-heavy onboarding, weakened communication between administrators and classrooms, and hindered recruitment of younger teachers seeking flexible professional learning.

By implementing PowerSchool Unified Talent (Applicant Tracking, Employee Records, Perform, and Professional Learning) the district unified data and streamlined hiring and onboarding, letting administrators view evaluations, PL plans, and progress in one place and assign courses directly from Perform. The result: more personalized professional learning, clearer conversations about career growth, improved teacher support and retention, and faster, simpler reporting to district leadership.
