climate and culture, crucial for retaining effective educators, thereby improving their

innovative teaching practices, Hilight cultivates an environment of ongoing professional

for addressing pandemic-related challenges. Hilight's implementation is justified under ESSER

well-being. Hilight's recognition and support mechanisms directly contribute to educator
morale and retention.
