Rethinking Teacher Retention in Hard-to-Staff Schools
Holmes, Barbara; Parker, DeJuanna; Gibson, Jamel
Contemporary Issues in Education Research, v12 n1 p27-30, 32-33 2019
National, state, and local educational agencies identify teacher retention as an issue of continuous importance and concern. This report addresses the issue of teacher retention through the lens of administrative effectiveness and involvement, as well as teachers' intrinsic motivations. Relevant findings include structural framing of the educational environment, student behaviors, school district demands for improvement, and teacher perspectives on administrative support. The report iterates that teacher retention does not have a one-size-fits-all solution, and that each school division and individual school must work purposefully to devise plans to retain its most effective teachers.
