Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the effect of school culture on teacher retention by looking at various aspects of a school's climate. The goal of this study was to provide the educational community with data and current strategies to enhance teacher job satisfaction and to increase teacher retention rates. Teachers in Northwest New Jersey public schools within a rural setting were explored in this study. The study was designed as a quantitative research project that collected data via a survey. Anecdotal data was also collected by reviewing teacher resignation and retirements among schools in Northwest New Jersey. The survey was distributed to all teachers in Northwest New Jersey. The survey focused on various aspects of school climate and asked participants to self-report their perception of their school climate. The data collected from the survey was analyzed through an independent sample t-test to test for a significant correlation between the reported views of school climate and one of three demographic subgroups. Study results indicated that there is not a significant statistical relationship between teachers' perceptions and particular demographic subgroups. However, among the demographic subgroup of novice and veteran teachers, there were several items on the survey tool that approached statistical significance. (ProQuest abstract).

This book was released on 2020-09-17 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the significant problems that can arise for pre-service teachers, teachers and school leaders who are unprepared for the complexities of 21st century teaching. It focuses on major factors impacting teacher preparation during an era of significant change, including student learning, academic growth, classroom practice, and the efficacy of teachers. In turn, the book considers crucial aspects that can enhance educational outcomes and investigates questions including what impact the changing nature of teachers’ work has on teacher preparation; how educators can evaluate blended learning; and what impact teachers have on learners. This book provides evidence-based approaches that can be used to achieve a positive impact on education and narrow the gap in contemporary and emerging global topics in education.
Download or read book Teachers Perceptions of Campus Leadership Team Behaviors and Teacher Retention Rates by Campus written by Jennifer Dollar Stoecker and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between teachers’ perceptions of campus leadership team behaviors and teacher retention by campus. The researcher focused on one Texas school district and analyzed its campus teacher retention rates in relation to teacher survey responses in the Leadership Dynamics domain of the National Center for School Leadership’s (NCSL, 2017) School Climate and Culture Survey. The researcher conducted multiple regression analysis to determine the relationship between the predictors and criterion variable. Results indicated 42.30% of the variance in teacher retention could be explained by the teachers’ perceptions of leadership team behaviors taken together. Interpretation of the beta weights and squared structure coefficients for individual predictors demonstrated that administrative accessibility accounted for the greatest amount of the relationship, accounting for approximately 93.90% of the variance explained. Listening to teachers’ concerns and ideas explained 88.1% of the variance, followed by encouragement of teachers to share ideas and opinions, 85.5%; trust in administration, 75%; administrator effectiveness, 74.2%; consistency of administrator behavior, 64.7%; and keeping teachers informed, 64%. The study concluded with implications of findings and recommendations for future research.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the relationship between the leadership behaviors of school administrators and the retention of U.S.-hired teachers in American Overseas Schools in the Near East and South Asia (NESA) region. The study included a separate analysis of the leadership-retention connection for the subgroup of teachers considered by their principals to be the 10% most effective teachers, and the other 90% of the teacher population. Previous research in U.S. school settings has found teacher quality to be the strongest organizational variable predicting student achievement, and found teacher turnover to predict a range of negative outcomes for students, including lower academic achievement (Connors-Krikorian, 2005; Griffith, 2004; Ingersoll, 2001; Ronfeldt, Loeb, & Wyckoff, 2011). Research conducted in U.S. schools found teacher retention to be predicted by school principal leadership, but not school head leadership (Grissom, 2010; Scholastic and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, 2010). However, research in overseas American schools found school head leadership, not school principal leadership to predict teacher retention (Mancuso, 2010, Desroches, 2013). In April 2013, teachers in 41 NESA schools were sent a link to an online survey which included 45 questions from the Multi-factor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) rating a range of transformational, transactional and laissez-faire leadership behaviors of their principal and school head. The survey also included a demographic section gathering an array of teacher, organizational, and school characteristics. From an estimated total population of 2500 teachers, 200 teachers fully completed the online survey, including 59 teachers considered to be among the top 10% most effective teachers, and 141 from the rest of the teaching population. A quantitative analysis of the responses was conducted, including a series of logistic regressions to determine the strength of associations between leadership behaviors and teacher retention. Additional logistic regressions were conducted using demographic characteristics as covariates in an effort to account for potential alternative explanations for any leadership-retention associations found. The responses of the 10% most effective teachers and the other 90% were analyzed separately. For the 90% group, neither principal nor school head leadership behaviors were found to be statistically significant predictors of teacher retention, though teacher satisfaction with their teaching assignment did predict retention. For the top 10% most effective teachers, however, school head transformational leadership emerged as a strong predictor of retention. The strength of school head transformational leadership as a predictor of retention of the most effective teachers informs the practice of school leaders. Both the study's methodology separating the most effective teachers, and the finding of a different response to leadership between this group and the rest of the teacher population, represent potentially useful contributions to existing teacher retention research.
Download or read book Teachers Attitudinal Indicators as Predictors of Job Satisfaction and Retention by Educational Sector b an Analysis of the Schools and Staffing Survey 2007 08 written by Justin A. Martin (‡e author) and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Popular media reports indicate that there is a national teacher shortage. Scholars have written that there is either a recruitment crisis, a greying of the teaching population, or that teachers are leaving the profession due to dissatisfaction. This dissertation attempts to answer two central questions related to the lattermost: what are the components that go into the calculus of job satisfaction for public and private school teachers and what role does job satisfaction play in a teacher's decision to leave the profession. Drawing on the literature of job satisfaction and organizational exit behaviors, I develop hypotheses designed to test three related research questions concerning the relationship between sector of employment, job satisfaction, and turnover behavior. Findings indicate that although private school teachers report greater overall job satisfaction, they are nearly twice as likely to leave the profession as public school teachers. Findings indicate that sector of employment affects job satisfaction, and that the relationship between sector of teacher employment and job satisfaction is mediated by organizational perceptions including school environment, school structure, professional development opportunities, and employment conditions. Findings further indicate that job satisfaction, net of other factors, does not predict quit behavior; however, occupational pulls outside of teaching do increase turnover.
