Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This First Look report provides selected findings from all five waves of the Beginning Teacher Longitudinal Study (BTLS) along with data tables and methodological information. The BTLS follows a sample of public elementary and secondary school teachers who participated in the 2007-08 Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS), and whose first year of teaching was 2007 or 2008. The BTLS sample includes teachers who leave teaching in the years after the SASS data collection and those who continue to teach either in the same school as the last year or in a different school. The purpose of the Beginning Teacher Longitudinal Study is to provide a better understanding of the impact that different life events have on teachers' careers (such as getting married, moving to a new location, or starting a family). It will also provide some insight on how school and/or district characteristics and policies affect teacher satisfaction, and how teachers respond to transitions in their lives and careers (such as moving to a different school, changing the grade levels or subject taught, becoming a mentor, transitioning into a K-12 administration position, or exiting the teaching field). The study will contribute to policymakers' understanding of teachers and of teachers' careers as they enter, leave, or re-enter the teaching workforce and make important career and life decisions. The following are appended: (1) Standard Error Tables; (2) Methodology and Technical Notes; and (3) Description of Variables.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Attracting and retaining teachers may be a problem in many rural school districts. According to previous research, teacher attrition is greater in rural regions due to various demographic and other factors. Retention was also cited as a key issue in these rural school districts. The number of teachers quitting their professions before they can retire has risen drastically. In addition, teachers in rural schools and in some suburban and urban places confront obstacles such as lack of resources, little support, poor pay, inconsistent professional development opportunities, and inadequate preparation that cause them to lose their enthusiasm for teaching. Therefore, this study was carried out to understand the educators' attrition and mobility in their first five years of work and the retention practices used by education institutions to reduce attrition and mobility. In particular, the research evaluated the factors influencing teacher mobility, attrition, and retention in U.S. public schools. Data was collected from National Center for Education Statistics and concentrated on Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS). The study used salary received by teacher at different education levels as the main factors influencing mobility, retention, and attrition. Correlation and regression analyses were the inferential tests used. Results showed there were significant associations between salary for the teachers with Bachelor's and Master’s; degrees with experience of 10 years and mobility, retention, and attrition compared to the teacher with no experiences. Further, the findings illustrated that the different salary received by teachers of different education levels with 10 years or without experiences have a mixed influence on the mobility, retention, and attrition of teachers. In conclusion, the study showed that teacher compensation is an important factor in determining whether there will be an increase in the rate of mobility, retention, and attrition.

Download or read book Why Half of Teachers Leave the Classroom written by Carol R. Rinke and published by R&L Education. This book was released on 2014-02-02 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The statistics are familiar: almost 50% of new teachers leave the profession within their first five years in the classroom. The challenge of recruiting and retaining teachers carries high costs for today’s schools and students. This book uncovers some of the reasons behind the elevated attrition rates in the field of education through a long-term study of beginning teachers in one urban school district. Drawing upon research conducted over a seven-year period, this book sheds light upon the role that teachers’ intentions play in shaping their later career paths. It also shares the deeply personal and professional journeys of teachers who stayed, teachers who shifted into education-related positions, and teachers who left the field altogether. Through eight in-depth case studies, this book clarifies the factors influencing teachers’ career paths and depicts the toll that teacher attrition takes on the teachers themselves. Finally, it makes an argument for placing teachers’ voices clearly at their center of their own career development as a way to enhance autonomy, satisfaction, and ultimately career longevity.

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.

This book was released on 2024-08-09 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The assault on public school teachers' integrity, livelihood, and professionalism started in 1983 with the publication of A Nation at Risk. Based on the results of our education system performance, they were indirectly accused of failing our children. Still, it peaked in 2004, when Rod Paige, then George W. Bush's secretary of education, called the country's leading teachers union a "terrorist organization." Teachers felt dehumanized then. In 2009, Barack Obama blamed them for "letting our grades slip, our schools crumble, our teacher quality fall short, and other nations outpace us." Teachers felt let down again. In 2017, President Donald Trump lamented how "beautiful" students had been "deprived of all knowledge" by our nation's cash-guzzling public school system. Teachers felt humiliated and rejected. Currently, in states like Florida, public school teachers are besieged by politically motivated laws and unrealistic demands from parents, politicians, and noneducation experts. They have lost their freedom to teach as they see fit to meet the needs of their students. Teachers feel more disrespected, devalued, unappreciated, and under attack than ever. The bad news is that a recent NEA survey revealed that 55 percent of currently employed teachers are seriously considering leaving their jobs. If that rate of resignations continues to grow, the question is, Will there be a public school system in America in the future?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1988, the Chicago public school system decentralized, granting parents and communities significant resources and authority to reform their schools in dramatic ways. To track the effects of this bold experiment, the authors of Organizing Schools for Improvement collected a wealth of data on elementary schools in Chicago. Over a seven-year period they identified one hundred elementary schools that had substantially improved—and one hundred that had not. What did the successful schools do to accelerate student learning? The authors of this illuminating book identify a comprehensive set of practices and conditions that were key factors for improvement, including school leadership, the professional capacity of the faculty and staff, and a student-centered learning climate. In addition, they analyze the impact of social dynamics, including crime, critically examining the inextricable link between schools and their communities. Putting their data onto a more human scale, they also chronicle the stories of two neighboring schools with very different trajectories. The lessons gleaned from this groundbreaking study will be invaluable for anyone involved with urban education.
