Book excerpt: This qualitative study examined the perceptions and attitudes of 111 educators from two school districts in southeastern Pennsylvania regarding the factors that affect teacher retention. The research questions examined a collection of data from surveys, questionnaires, and interviews. Given the importance of recruiting and retaining quality teachers to better serve all students in education, this study provided specific insights from the perspectives of tenured teachers, non-tenured teachers, and administrator respondents. Analysis of the data revealed mixed perceptions for support from administrators, the learning community, and professional development as factors to support teacher retention in the year 2013. Unique factors emerged describing the connection to the current state of the economy as a driving force for the lack of available teaching positions. The researcher noted the three respondent groups' perceptions and attitudes were more similar than they were different. Tenured teacher respondents reported retention in some schools was falsely higher than it might be if more job opportunities were available for teaching positions. The researcher hypothesized that recent state accountabilities may have forced teachers and administrators to work together to meet the new challenges as a united force. Further quantitative research is warranted to fully ascertain the factors that affect teacher retention in connection to retirement patterns, transfer trends, attrition rates, and the impact of future mandated accountabilities for teacher supervision and evaluation.

Download or read book Opportunities and Challenges in Teacher Recruitment and Retention written by Carol R. Rinke and published by IAP. This book was released on 2019-05-01 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Opportunities and Challenges in Teacher Recruitment and Retention serves as a comprehensive resource for understanding teachers’ careers across the professional lifespan. Grounded in the notion that teachers’ voices are essential for understanding teachers’ lives, this edited volume contains chapters that privilege the voices of teachers above all. Book sections look closely at the particular issues that arise when recruiting an effective, committed, and diverse workforce, as well as the challenges that arise once teachers are immersed in the classroom setting. Promising directions are also included for particularly high-need areas such as early childhood teachers, Black male teachers, STEM teachers, and urban teachers. The book concludes with a call for self-care in teachers’ lives. Chapter contributions come from a variety of contexts across the United States and around the world. However, regardless of context or methodology, these chapters point to the importance of valuing and respecting teachers’ lives and work. Moreover, they demonstrate that teacher recruitment and retention is a complex and multifaceted issue that cannot be addressed through simplistic policy changes. Rather, attending to and appreciating the web of influences on teachers lives and careers is the only way to support their work and the impact they have on our next generation of students.

Download or read book Exploring Teacher Recruitment and Retention written by Tanya Ovenden-Hope and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-10-01 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thought-provoking collection examines the challenge of teacher shortages that is of international concern. It presents multiple perspectives, and explores the commonalities and differences in approaches from around the world to understand possible solutions for the current teacher workforce crisis. Acknowledging that solutions to attract and retain teachers vary by country, region and in some cases locality, the contributors scrutinise a range of workforce planning interventions at local and government level, including financial incentives and early career support. The book draws on different perspectives to understand a range of problems that negatively affect teacher recruitment and retention, unpicking key challenges, including links between the disadvantages of location and access to teachers for coastal and rural schools, rising pupil numbers, declining school budgets and the role of professional learning in raising teacher status. Abundant in critiques, research-informed positions and context-specific discussions about the impact of teacher workforce supply and shortages, this book will be valuable reading for teacher educators, educational leaders, education policy makers and academics in the field.

Book excerpt: This qualitative case study was conducted to ascertain teachers' perceptions of the reasons for teacher attrition, the reasons why teachers remain in the teaching profession, and the steps that districts can take to enhance teacher retention. The study involved 286 full-time or part-time teachers of kindergarten through twelfth grade students in a public school district located in south-central Pennsylvania. The study's data were collected through the use of an online survey that included closed-ended questions and open-response questions. Personal interviews were conducted with six volunteers who had completed the online survey. The data indicated that among the five proposed reasons for teacher attrition that included salary, working conditions, teacher preparation, professional development, and recruitment practices, the area of working conditions was the most perceived reason for teacher attrition.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was conducted to better understand the teacher shortage and to identify ways to address it. The approach for this study supports the view that the shortage is rooted in poor teacher retention rather than an insufficient supply of teachers. Too many teachers leave the classroom for reasons other than retirement. This premature exodus has tipped the supply-and-demand scale, causing schools to hire under qualified teachers.

Download or read book Handbook of Research in Education Finance and Policy written by Helen F. Ladd and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-12-17 with total page 693 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sponsored by the Association for Education Finance and Policy (AEFP), the second edition of this groundbreaking handbook assembles in one place the existing research-based knowledge in education finance and policy, with particular attention to elementary and secondary education. Chapters from the first edition have been fully updated and revised to reflect current developments, new policies, and recent research. With new chapters on teacher evaluation, alternatives to traditional public schooling, and cost-benefit analysis, this volume provides a readily available current resource for anyone involved in education finance and policy. The Handbook of Research in Education Finance and Policy traces the evolution of the field from its initial focus on school inputs and revenue sources used to finance these inputs, to a focus on educational outcomes and the larger policies used to achieve them. Chapters show how decision making in school finance inevitably interacts with decisions about governance, accountability, equity, privatization, and other areas of education policy. Because a full understanding of important contemporary issues requires inputs from a variety of perspectives, the Handbook draws on contributors from a number of disciplines. Although many of the chapters cover complex, state-of-the-art empirical research, the authors explain key concepts in language that non-specialists can understand. This comprehensive, balanced, and accessible resource provides a wealth of factual information, data, and wisdom to help educators improve the quality of education in the United States.

Download or read book Teachers Perceptions of Motivational Factors that Influence Elementary Teacher Retention in Urban Title I Schools written by Patrice Y. Graham and published by . This book was released on 2024 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National teacher shortages have received attention in the last few years, and researchers have projected turnover rates will grow in the upcoming years. As a result, districts and administrators were challenged to hire highly qualified teachers. There needed to be more educational research regarding why teachers remained in urban Title I schools. Due to the lack of research, further research was necessary to form a better understanding of increasing elementary school teacher retention. Elementary school teachers from one school district in Georgia responded to a questionnaire to explore the motivational factors influencing their retention in Title I schools. The 29 certified teachers indicated the following motivational factors influencing their retention in urban Title I schools aligned into eight themes: acceptance, altruism, educational systems, interpersonal skills, job satisfaction, leadership, resiliency, and work-related stress. In this study, I explored the teacher retention crisis, beginning with understanding the factors that influenced teacher retention. While there was abundant research data on teacher attrition, there needed to be more research on the factors affecting teacher retention. Identifying characteristics that support teacher retention was crucial for maintaining a skilled and satisfied staff. School districts and managers must learn how to establish systems that cater to the essential requirements of instructors working in high-poverty, low-performing schools.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this mixed method, survey-based inquiry was to determine how Georgia public high school faculty members perceive various pressures and experiences associated with a career in education. These perceptions were then analyzed as possible indicators of teacher attrition in order to improve retention rates. The independent demographic variables selected to analyze these perceptions included level of education attained, years of teaching experience, and school size based on student enrollment numbers. Qualitative data examined the role of an educator, why one would choose to remain in or leave the field of education, and the future plans of the current educators. The faculty survey incorporated 30 items based on a Likert-type scaled response section with five qualitative open-ended questions. This mixed method analysis was chosen to provide more of a holistic examination of the state's teacher retention problem. A total of 545 surveys were analyzed from both the northern and southern counties of the state of Georgia. The implication of this study was to serve as guidance for future improvements of teacher retention rates throughout the state. The quantitative data reveals that most teachers in the state of Georgia have obtained their master's degrees, are within the first 5 years of their educational career, and view administrative support and working conditions as positive aspects of their teaching experience. From the qualitative analysis, it was evident that teachers view their role as important due to preparing students for future careers or simply as a preparation for high-stakes testing. The majority of teachers feel that the role of an educator has changed over the years and most have considered leaving their chosen careers due to low morale, low pay, and/or the amount of time required for the paperwork involved. Teachers stated that the reason they have chosen to remain in education is due to the intrinsic rewards such as making a difference in the life of a young person and the love or enjoyment that education provides. When asked about their future plans, almost half of the current teaching force was uncertain, and another one-third plan to leave the classroom.

Download or read book Teacher Perspectives on Factors that Affect Teacher Attrition and Retention in Rural High Schools which are Located Contiguous to Large Metropolitan Areas written by Christine Ngei and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Retaining quality teachers is a global challenge for schools, particularly those in rural districts. Trapped in a revolving door of teacher hiring and replacement, these schools drain their districts of funds that could be better spent to improve teaching quality and student achievement. These high attrition rates result in inexperienced teachers, high economic costs as teachers must be continually hired and trained, and a lack of continuity that makes institutional development and planning difficult. The purpose of this quantitative study was to determine factors that influence rural high school teachers' intent to leave teaching at their current school and to determine the factors influencing retention in their current rural high school. The study sites were five rural districts located near a big metropolitan city in Southeast Texas. An electronic survey was sent to 260 rural high school teachers in grades 9-12, who were purposively selected. All teachers had a minimum of six months teaching experience. Teacher perceptions were analyzed as possible indicators of teacher attrition in order to improve retention rate. The results from 176 respondents suggest that teacher job satisfaction significantly predicted teacher retention. Further analysis showed that teachers perceived administrator support as the most important factor in determining their decisions to stay followed by school climate and workplace conditions. Analysis based on percentages also indicated several factors that teachers perceived as reasons that caused their colleagues to leave. The top three reasons were better salary, accepting a teaching position in another school, and dissatisfaction with their jobs.
