Book excerpt: Teacher turnover is high in schools, identifying the factors may possibly lead to solutions to reduce this problem. Factors of teacher turnover in private and public schools were researched through the literature review and factors were identified. The goal of this descriptive study is to provide information on teacher turnover for administrators in a state association of Christian schools. A research table was developed through the literature review, which led to the pilot survey where a team of experts, the coordinator of the state association of Christian schools, one high school principal, two elementary principals, and three headmasters, made recommendations. This pilot study was conducted in two Christian schools not affiliated with the association studied. Following the pilot study, the final survey was published in the state association of Christian school's booklet prepared for the convention. This dissertation is unique in that all who attended the state association of Christian school's convention received a survey as they walked into the main auditorium. The coordinator of the association encouraged the participants to complete the survey at the convention by announcing the survey at the main session. The surveys were collected as the participants exited the main auditorium. The surveys were tallied and statistical analysis was conducted through descriptive statistics and reported to participating administrators. The results from the survey identified the school control factors in teacher turnover in the association of Christian schools as finances/low pay, lack of administrative support and lack of quality administration. Stress/burnout contributes to both school control factors and outside school control factors. The outside school control factors that contribute to teacher turnover in the association of Christian schools include spouse relocation and God's calling.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this dissertation study was to examine the factors that impact Catholic school teacher turnover with special attention to alternative route to teacher certification. Teacher turnover has a negative impact on the school organization economically, and a negative effect on student success. Factors tested in this study as having an impact on teacher turnover, in addition to route to certification or licensure, include teacher characteristics, school characteristics, and working conditions. The study also compared the percentage of teacher turnover in the Archdiocese of Denver Catholic Schools to national teacher turnover statics, and factors that impact teacher turnover locally with national trends. Teachers new to the Archdiocese of Denver Catholic Schools between 2001 and 2006 were the focus for this study. Data were obtained from 284 current and former Archdiocese of Denver Catholic Schools teachers through a 55-item survey developed by the researcher. The survey was modeled on the National Center for Educational Statistics Teacher Follow-up Survey which also provided the national numbers for comparison in this study. Regression analyses and Chi-square tests were used to determine which of the factors might be predictive of teacher retention or attrition. The findings of this study show that for the six-year period studied, alternatively certified beginning teachers had the same as or a higher percentage of retention than traditionally certified beginning teachers. Findings also show that family circumstances, size of the school, and the diversity of student ethnicity are the factors that are most predictive of teacher attrition or retention. The age of the teacher and the lack of evidence of student service in support of Catholic social justice teachings were the next most significant factors predicting teacher turnover. The study shows that teachers are more likely to continue teaching in Archdiocese of Denver Catholic Schools when the evidence of the Catholic identity indicators matches the importance placed on that indicator by the teacher. The results of this dissertation study extend the research on teacher retention and have implications for school principals who hire teachers in Catholic schools, for archdiocesan superintendents, and institutions of higher education that train teachers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My district in North Carolina is one of many across the country impacted by a shortage of teachers caused by attrition and fewer people entering the profession. Educational leaders must increase teacher retention to sufficiently staff their schools. Data on teacher turnover is largely based on surveys completed by exiting teachers. This study gathers perspectives from the teachers who stay, to better understand what has kept them in the profession. This approach proactively identified strategies to improve teacher job satisfaction to increase the number of teachers who remain at their current school. Q Methodology was used to determine the factors that are most important for job satisfaction to teachers at a comprehensive high school in central North Carolina. Two distinct factor groups emerged from the data: Monarchy High School, named due to the significance of site-based school leadership and Federation High School where collegial relationships with peers were central to remaining in the profession. Post-sort interviews provided insight to why teachers hold their beliefs. The findings of this study can be used by school leaders to develop a better understanding of how to intentionally design supportive working environments to increase teacher retention.

Download or read book Teacher Retention at Low Performing Schools Using the Evidence written by SERVE: SouthEastern Regional Vision for Education, Greensboro, NC. and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 3 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2004-2005, North Carolina's average teacher turnover rate was nearly 13 percent, ranging from a high of 29 percent to a low of 4 percent. Turnover among teachers in low-performing schools was substantially higher, with a low of 12 percent and a high of 57 percent. North Carolina has put strategies in place to address teacher retention but how will these strategies impact retention at low-performing schools? This research update summarizes three studies that address issues related to teacher retention. One study examined North Carolina's use of an annual bonus to certified math, science and special education teachers working in high poverty or academically failing public secondary schools. The study found that: (1) The bonus payment was sufficient to reduce mean turnover rates of the targeted teachers by 12 percent; (2) Responses to the program were concentrated among experienced teachers; and (3) In 2003-04, 17 percent of principals in schools with the program did not know their schools had ever been eligible and 13 percent of teachers receiving the program that year did not know they were eligible. Implications of the study indicate that: (1) Supplemental pay may be a promising approach to retaining teachers in hard to staff subjects and schools; and (2) Greater efforts must be made to promote such programs. A second study examined 272 hard-to-staff schools and found that: (1) Minority, disadvantaged, and academically struggling students are more likely to be in hard-to-staff schools and less likely to have experienced, effective teachers; (2) In 2000-01, in hard-to-staff schools, 71 percent of students performed at grade level on End of Grade or End of Course tests, compared with 80 percent of students in other schools; (3) In hard-to-staff schools, 62 percent of the students are ethnic minorities, compared to 39 percent of the students in other schools; (4) In hard-to-staff schools, 47 percent of students were eligible for free/reduced price lunch compared to 35 percent of those in other schools; (5) Forty-two percent of hard-to-staff schools are middle schools, while only 18 percent of other schools are middle schools; and (6) Teachers in hard-to-staff schools are less satisfied with every aspect of the school environment than their peers. These findings indicate that: (1) Addressing working conditions will be essential to reducing teacher turnover; and (2) Efforts to reduce teacher turnover should target conditions in hard-to-staff schools. A literature review of teacher retention, including both quantitative and qualitative studies found: (1) The issue of retaining teachers is one of retaining quality teachers who positively influence student learning, not just retaining all teachers; (2) Teachers who feel effective with their students are more likely to stay; (3) Teachers in collaborative, collegial environments are more likely to stay; (4) Increased pay is positively associated with retention; (5) Turnover is highest among high poverty, high minority schools; (6) Teachers entering the classroom through Alternative Certification Programs are more likely to leave the classroom; (7) Teachers teaching out-of-field and teaching courses requiring many different preps have lower job satisfaction; (8) Late hiring and lack of information in the hiring process can negatively influence retention; and (9) Poor facilities are associated with increased turnover. The review concludes that many factors contribute to increasing teacher retention, so single-pronged approaches will have much less chance of success.
