Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current study aimed to contribute to a deeper understanding of the organizational conditions of charter schools by examining teacher turnover. Using data from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) 2003-04 Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) and the Teacher Follow-Up Survey (TFS), researchers from the National Center on School Choice looked at how teacher turnover differs between charter and traditional public schools and the extent to which these differences are explained by variations in teacher characteristics, school organizational conditions, and contextual factors such as demographic characteristics. In addition, the study examined how turnover varies within the charter school sector. Central questions of the study were: (1) How does the rate of teacher turnover differ between charter schools and traditional public schools?; (2) How do teacher turnover rates vary within the charter school universe, and which types of charter schools have higher/lower turnover rates?; (3) To what extent are the differences in turnover rates between charter schools and traditional public schools explained by differences in teacher characteristics?; (4) To what extent are the differences in turnover rates between charter schools and traditional public schools explained by differences in organizational conditions and contextual factors?; and (5) What reasons do charter school teachers give for leaving the profession or moving between schools, and how do these reasons differ from those given by traditional public school teachers? The study ultimately was interested in the relationship between school sector (charter school and traditional public school) and teacher turnover (attrition and mobility). Researchers hypothesized that the difference in turnover between sectors ("the turnover gap") was due partly to systematic differences in the characteristics of charter and traditional public school teachers. They also hypothesized that the turnover gap was due partly to differences in the organizational conditions of charter schools and traditional public schools, which may stem from charter schools' autonomy from many of the rules and regulations that govern traditional public schools. In addition, they expected turnover to be affected by the context of the school. Key findings include: (1) The rate that teachers leave the profession and move between schools is significantly higher in charter schools than in traditional public schools; (2) Charter schools that are started from the ground up experience significantly more attrition and mobility than those converted from traditional public schools; (3) Differences in teacher characteristics explain a large portion of the turnover gap among charter and traditional public school teachers; (4) Dissatisfaction with working conditions is an important reason why charter school teachers are significantly more likely to switch schools or leave the profession; and (5) Involuntary attrition is significantly higher in charter schools.

Book excerpt: Achievement gaps by race and income have drawn attention to the higher rates of teacher attrition at schools serving disadvantaged students. There might be a vicious cycle: teachers are more likely to leave schools where the students are more difficult to work with, and the continual churn of teachers adversely affects school climate and student performance, making it even harder to retain teachers. Some evidence supports this hypothesis that school working conditions influence teacher turnover, but a better understanding of how different factors affect turnover, particularly as they interact with each other, would help policymakers looking for ways to increase teacher retention. In this study, I explore four categories of factors that might affect teacher turnover: teacher characteristics, including salary; demographic and behavioral characteristics of the school's student body; principal characteristics, such as teaching and administrative experience; and school administration characteristics that describe how the school is run, namely teachers' opinion of the school's administrators, the degree of teacher autonomy, and the strength of teacher influence over school policy. Using nationally-representative data about teacher transitions from the 1999-2000 school year to the 2000-2001 school year, I find that job satisfaction and many teacher characteristics are the factors most strongly associated with teacher turnover. School behavior problems and all three administration characteristics indirectly influence turnover via their effect on job satisfaction. Principal characteristics matter little, as do student race and poverty after controlling for teacher and administration variables.

Book excerpt: The Teacher Follow-up Survey (TFS) is a one-year follow-up of a sample of approximately 8,400 teachers who were originally selected for the teacher component in the Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS). This report examines the characteristics of teachers who left the teaching profession between the 1999-2000 and 2000-01 school years (leavers), teachers who continued teaching but changed schools (movers), and teachers who continued teaching in the same school in 2000-01 (stayers).

Book excerpt: This report develops a strategy for improving national and state forecasts of future teacher attrition rates. The authors (1) develop a theory of teacher attrition that accounts for the disparate reasons for attrition and explains the patterns of attrition unique to each life cycle and career stage; (2) selectively review existing literature on teacher attrition and present attrition patterns from several states in order to test hypotheses deriving from their theory; (3) review the data available to support improved attrition models and recommend ways to make better use of the data; and (4) identify sampling and data collection strategies that will improve the value of data collected in a future national survey of teachers.

Lopez and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Teacher turnover is a national problem and has been investigated on the national level since the 1920's. This study compares the reasons teachers give for leaving teaching positions from data collected nationwide with local data. Purpose: To examine whether the same problems that arise on the local level have been identified in the professional literature as reasons for teacher dissatisfaction that lead to teacher turnover. Setting: A public middle school on the island of Kauai in the state of Hawaii during school years 2007-08 and 2008-09. Study Sample: School staff size approximately 100, of which about 60 were teachers; approximately 1000 students served annually in grades 6 through 8; during the years of the study about 35% of the total student body qualified for free and reduced lunch, approximately 9% of the total student population qualified for special education services; about 6% of the total student body were English Language Learners. Research Design: Correlational. Data Collection and Analysis: A national list of reasons, entitled the "Dear Folks, I Quit" list, which teachers give for leaving teaching positions was compiled from the National Center for Education Statistics, Schools and Staffing Survey and its supplement, the Teacher Follow-up Survey, as well as from the professional literature. Team meeting minutes from the school were examined and coded for all teams during the years of the study. Team leaders during the years of the study were also interviewed. The frequency, or relative emphasis, for each of the major reasons cited from the "Dear Folks, I Quit" list were correlated to each item in the meeting minutes to determine whether or not the symptoms of teacher dissatisfaction were detected in any of the biweekly team meetings. Findings: All of the problems from the "Dear Folks, I Quit" list of reasons for teacher dissatisfaction leading to teacher turnover were identified by teachers at the school during biweekly team meetings. No additional items came up that were outside of the list of problems identified nationally. Discussion of the dissatisfaction topics varied by team and by year. In the case of the only team that had a change of team leader between year one and year two of the study, the discussion of dissatisfaction topics also varied according to team leader. The derived national list of problems therefore was applicable for examining the content of team meeting discussions at the school. The study contributed an additional insight into research available on the nature of problems faced by teachers by disaggregating the "Dear Folks, I Quit" list into two categories: internal and external problems. Internal problems are those within the control of the teams (or any of the teams' teacher members). External problems are those not within the control of any of the teams (or any of the teams' teacher members). Conclusion: Findings of this study, although not definitive, suggest the need for additional studies to determine whether and how external factors correlate with high teacher turnover. Further, this study raises the question if teachers and school administrators work together to address or resolve external concerns, could they reduce teacher turnover? Citation: Lopez, A.J.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the magnitude, destinations, and determinants of the departures of mathematics and science teachers from public schools. The data are from the National Center for Education Statistics' nationally representative Schools and Staffing Survey and its longitudinal supplement, the Teacher Follow-up Survey. Our analyses show that rates of mathematics and science teacher turnover, both those moving between schools and those leaving teaching altogether, have increased over the past two decades, but have not been consistently different than those of non-mathematics/science teachers. Mathematics and science teachers who left teaching were also no more likely than other teachers to take non-education jobs, such as in technological fields, or to be working for private business or industry. The data also show that, like other teachers, there are large school-to-school differences in mathematics and science turnover. High poverty, high minority, and urban public schools have among the highest mathematics and science turnover levels. In the case of cross-school migration, the data show there is an annual asymmetric reshuffling of a significant portion of the mathematics and science teaching force from poor to not poor schools, from high-minority to low-minority schools, and from urban to suburban schools. However, our multivariate analyses showed that a number of key organizational characteristics and conditions of schools accounted for these school differences in turnover. The strongest factors for mathematics teachers were the degree of individual classroom autonomy held by teachers, the provision of useful professional development, and the degree of student discipline problems. For science teachers, the strongest factors were the maximum potential salary offered by school districts, the degree of student discipline problems in schools, and useful professional development.
