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.

Download or read book What Influences Teacher Turnover? written by Kathryn Newmark and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Achievement gaps by race and income have drawn attention to the higher rates of teacher attrition at schools serving disadvantaged students. There might be a vicious cycle: teachers are more likely to leave schools where the students are more difficult to work with, and the continual churn of teachers adversely affects school climate and student performance, making it even harder to retain teachers. Some evidence supports this hypothesis that school working conditions influence teacher turnover, but a better understanding of how different factors affect turnover, particularly as they interact with each other, would help policymakers looking for ways to increase teacher retention. In this study, I explore four categories of factors that might affect teacher turnover: teacher characteristics, including salary; demographic and behavioral characteristics of the school's student body; principal characteristics, such as teaching and administrative experience; and school administration characteristics that describe how the school is run, namely teachers' opinion of the school's administrators, the degree of teacher autonomy, and the strength of teacher influence over school policy. Using nationally-representative data about teacher transitions from the 1999-2000 school year to the 2000-2001 school year, I find that job satisfaction and many teacher characteristics are the factors most strongly associated with teacher turnover. School behavior problems and all three administration characteristics indirectly influence turnover via their effect on job satisfaction. Principal characteristics matter little, as do student race and poverty after controlling for teacher and administration variables.

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.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teacher turnover rates continue to grow since the release of A Nation at Risk in 1983 and is an increasingly serious issue for schools. Schools that experience heightened turnover never fully capitalize on the benefits of strong organizational efficacy which negatively affects student growth. Three major external factors contribute to teacher turnover: 1) the growing challenges of teaching low socio-economic, at-risk students; 2) inequities in school finance; and 3) tightening accountability measures. The purpose of this study is to investigate: 1) the relationship between teacher turnover and student academic growth in Texas schools; and 2) the impact of instructional expenditures per student and number of students identified as at-risk on a Texas district's teacher turnover rate. The study analysis used a linear and multiple regression to investigate if a predictable relationship existed among the targeted variables using accountability data from 1,203 Texas Public and Charter Schools from the 2016/2017 school year. Both models proved statistically significant with a small effect size. Results from the study will support district leaders seeking to understand and address factors that promote teacher retention and student academic growth.

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 Factors Impacting Catholic School Teacher Turnover Including Alternative Teacher Certification written by Elizabeth Youngs and published by . 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.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is widely believed that teacher turnover adversely affects the quality of instruction in urban schools serving predominantly disadvantaged children, and a growing body of research investigates various components of turnover effects. The evidence at first seems contradictory, as the quality of instruction appears to decline following turnover despite the fact that most work shows higher attrition for less effective teachers. This raises concerns that confounding factors bias estimates of transition differences in teacher effectiveness, the adverse effects of turnover or both. After taking more extensive steps to account for nonrandom sorting of students into classrooms and endogenous teacher exits and grade-switching, we replicate existing findings of adverse selection out of schools and negative effects of turnover in lower-achievement schools. But we find that these turnover effects can be fully accounted for by the resulting loss in experience and productivity loss following the reallocation of some incumbent teachers to different grades. Supplemental tables are appended.

Download or read book Factors of Teacher Turnover in Church-related Schools in a State Association of Christian Schools written by JoAnna Ruth Oster and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 2010 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this study is to use nationally representative data to examine the rates, destinations and sources of math and science teacher turnover. There are four sets of research questions the authors address concerning the departure of mathematics and science teachers from their schools: (1) At what rates do mathematics/science teachers move from or leave their teaching jobs? How do their turnover rates compare to those of other teachers? Have their turnover rates changed over time? What is the magnitude of both math science teacher mobility and attrition?; (2) Which types of schools have higher levels of mathematics/science teacher turnover?; (3) What are the destinations of mathematics/science teachers who move from or leave their teaching jobs? What proportions of those departing move to other schools, quit to raise families, go to graduate school, go into non-teaching occupations within education (e.g., school administration, higher education, etc) or go into non-educational occupations?; and (4) Which particular factors, aspects, and conditions of schools and of teachers' jobs are most tied to the turnover of mathematics and science teachers? This study utilizes nationally representative data on teachers, and therefore the setting is the whole United States. Findings suggest that schools are not simply victims of inexorable demographic trends and that there is a significant role for the management of schools in both the genesis of, and solution to, school staffing problems. The data suggest that improvements in these conditions of the teaching job, such as increased teacher salaries, and enhanced faculty input into school decision making, would all contribute to lower rates of turnover, in turn, diminish school staffing problems, undermine the so-called teacher shortage and, hence, ultimately, aid the performance of schools.

Download or read book Perceptions of the Impact of Early Childhood Teacher Turnover on Social Emotional Skills and Classroom Climate written by Jennifer A. Sturgeon and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is extensive research that supports the idea that children from low socioeconomic homes begin kindergarten behind their peers (Lamy, 2013). Through early childhood education programs, such as Head Start, young children living in poverty have access to high quality childcare opportunities that will prepare them for kindergarten. Stable relationships with adults provide a predictable and trusting environment, and the interactions between teachers and young children that take place in early childhood settings are essential for social emotional growth. However, teacher turnover continues to be a widespread concern in the field of early childhood, particularly with infants and toddlers. Teacher turnover makes it challenging for a child to form a strong, healthy bond with an adult. By examining the perceptions of administrators and teachers in an Early Head Start center, this qualitative study explores the impact of teacher turnover on the social emotional growth of toddlers as well as the classroom climate. Emerging from the focus group discussions of the child and classroom assessments was the discovery that teacher turnover has a significant impact on the social emotional development of toddlers, particularly in the area of self-regulation. In addition, this study shows that early childhood teacher turnover can lead to a chaotic classroom environment and a decrease in learning. Also included in this study is an examination of the motivation for early childhood teachers to stay in their roles. The study found that the three motivating factors for early childhood teacher retention are most importantly, the strength of the leadership staff, then, the mission to serve children and families, and finally, compensation. This study emphasizes the need for young children to have consistent teachers in their lives and advocates for further research that examines the relationship between leadership and teacher retention in early childhood.

Download or read book Teacher-directed Violence written by Eric Peist and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teacher turnover is a significant issue in education, creating great economic cost and affecting students in the form of academic performance and instructional continuity. While many factors impact turnover, the effects of teacher-directed violence have rarely been explored. Violence directed against teachers has been linked to negative outcomes, such as emotional distress and professional disengagement. The construct of empowerment, or disempowerment, can help researchers to better understand the relationship between teacher-directed violence and teacher turnover, allowing for an ecological approach that explores the context around teachers' experiences of violence. The current study uses mixed methods to analyze this relationship, based on teachers' responses to an anonymous, online survey assessing teachers' experiences with violence. The first set of analyses is based on the quantitative, closed-ended survey questions and includes 2,347 teachers who reported experiencing at least one incident of teacher-directed violence and described their worst incident in a series of open-ended questions. Logistic regression models were used to determine the impact of the type of perpetrator (id est student, parent, colleague, administrator) and level of administrative support during their worst incident on whether the teacher left the position or requested a transfer following the incident. Administrative support during the incident was also examined as a moderator of the relation between the number of different types of perpetrators involved and requesting a transfer and/or leaving the position. The second set of analyses is based on open-ended survey questions and includes 403 teachers who mentioned leaving the profession, transferring from their positions, or retiring in their responses. Content analysis was utilized to determine the extent to which Short and Rinehart's (1992) dimensions of teacher empowerment (status, autonomy, decision-making, impact, self-efficacy, and professional development) apply to teachers experiencing incidents of violence. The factors contributing to a sense of disempowerment around teachers' experiences of violence were also examined, along with how incidents of violence influence teachers' professional decisions. Quantitative results demonstrated that, compared to other perpetrators, having an administrator perpetrator during teachers' worst incidents of violence was associated with teachers being more likely to request a transfer and leave their positions. High levels of administrative support during the incident decreased the likelihood that teachers would request transfers and leave their positions. Administrative support was not a significant moderator for the relationship between the total number of perpetrator types and requesting a transfer/leaving the position. Content analysis demonstrated that teachers were low on multiple teacher empowerment dimensions that include status, autonomy and decision-making, and impact. Safety, policy, administrative responses to violent incidents and community circumstances beyond the school influenced teachers' disempowerment and contributed to teachers wanting to make professional changes. Incidents in which lack of administrative support was described as its own form of victimization and the compilation of incidents over time illustrated how violence can lead to disempowerment and turnover. Results suggest that incidents of violence create unsafe environments that often leave teachers feeling disempowered. Further, teacher-directed violence and disempowerment contribute to teachers' professional decisions related to turnover. Administrators play a large role in teacher disempowerment and turnover, especially through the level of support they provide to teachers in addressing incidents of violence. Increasing autonomy and decision-making power for teachers, as well as increasing status and respect for the profession, may increase teachers' desire to remain in the profession and their schools. The implications for research, practice, and policy are discussed.

Download or read book The Role of Pecuniary and Non-Pecuniary Factors in Teacher Turnover and Mobility Decisions written by Steve Bradley and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We investigate the determinants of teacher exits from and mobility within the Queensland state school system. In common with previous research we find that non-pecuniary factors, such as class size and location, affect movement decisions but our results suggest a significant role for pecuniary factors. In particular, higher wages reduce exits from the public sector, especially in the case of more experienced female teachers. Locality allowances paid to teachers in rural and remote schools, where non-pecuniary factors are less attractive, appear to have some success in attracting and retaining staff in these locations.
