Teacher retention is in crisis in the U.S. and globally, as the literature suggests, especially within the first five years of employment.

Recent data suggests that about one in…

The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of time in Mixed-Reality Simulations (MRS) on anxiety levels and coping for pre-service teachers (PSTs). A convergent parallel mixed-methods design was utilized for this study. The quantitative portion of the study used a convenience sample of 10 PSTs enrolled in one of two practice-based…
