Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High rates of teacher attrition are costly – not only in dollars and cents, but in terms of student achievement and organizational health (Keigher, 2010). Years of research conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics from 1988 - 2013 indicate that teachers move to a different school or leave the profession for a number of reasons including retirement, family concerns, poor working conditions and overall job dissatisfaction. The most impactful of these working conditions is principal leadership. Principals must create ideal circumstances for teachers if they want to avoid replacing these professionals within a few short years. One critical way principals can support teachers is through quality instructional leadership. Communication, availability, teacher placement, empowerment, and leadership style are all essential to quality leadership. A second impactful step includes comprehensive new teacher induction which includes orientation, continued professional development and a well-chosen, appropriately trained mentor. This study is a mixed-methods reflective analysis guided by Schön’s model of reflective practice (1983) and Kolb’s model of experiential learning (1984). Numerous studies conducted through organizations such as the CALDER Institute, MetLife and the National Center for Education Statistics have explored reasons for high rates of teacher attrition. Some of these studies have also explored the principal’s role in teacher retention. These results, however, are often difficult for principals to make specific to their work. School leaders may feel the data simply do not translate to their schools, or they may have inaccurate ideas of how they are perceived by the teachers they supervise. Data sources for this study include (1) descriptive statistics from the School and Staffing Teacher Follow-up Survey, which is available in the public domain, (2) summaries from an individual school district’s exit interviews, which is archival data from the school district, (3) case studies from teachers no longer in the profession, which are published works in the public domain, and (4) personal reflections regarding my own history and practices. Exploration of the perceived discrepancy between my intent and accomplishment followed by an investigation of alternate ways of thinking and acting provided the knowledge I need to transform the way I support teachers as a means of encouraging them to continue in the profession. Ideally, this study will not only change my personal practices and impact the school I lead, but it will also influence others who are currently leading schools or plan to do so in the future.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this research study was to identify practices that principals utilize that are believed to influence teacher retention. Teacher turnover is a major problem facing principals and school systems today. Much of the present research focuses on why teachers leave the field, but there is little research on the principals' perceptions of what they do to stem the flow of educators leaving the classroom. To accomplish this purpose, a case study was conducted, focused on identifying the principals' role in teacher retention and their perceptions of the most important strategies utilized to stimulate high teacher retention. Qualitative research methods including individual interviews, open-ended questionnaires, and focus groups enabled the researcher to identify, compare, and contrast the perceptions, beliefs, and practices used by the nine study participants. The research design produced interviews filled with rich narratives describing the practices used by principals at schools with high teacher retention. The focus group discussion elucidated the common behaviors that were perceived to support teacher retention. The study yielded evidence that high-performing principals with high teacher retention rates clearly and consistently identified specific practices they believe support teacher retention; that principals play a vital role in teacher retention and that their leadership, support, and daily practices influence a teacher's decision to remain in teaching. The data collected indicates the centrality of creating a positive school culture and a sense of belonging. All the other identified principal practices are intertwined with and contribute to this outcome. Choosing, supporting, and valuing faculty and encouraging shared decision-making appear to be the central practices in building teacher retention; and these practices are supported by and integrated with principals' modeling of positive personal characteristics, exercising fairness and equity, being visible and approachable, and communicating in an open two-way manner. Congruence of findings from all data collection methods provided an updated list of common practices identified by these highly successful principals that may inform principal preparation and a professional development model for present and future educational leaders interested in maintaining a stable teaching faculty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume examines innovative ways of preparing, supervising, and evaluating principals and explores factors that promote effective leadership practices. Chapter authors consider how principals’ leadership practices affect teachers’ instruction, satisfaction, commitment, retention, and effectiveness, and present evidence that principals can influence key student outcomes as well. Covering topics such as school leaders’ use of time, their efforts to reduce implicit bias, how leadership practices are associated with teachers’ workplace attitudes, leadership and student achievement, and how school leaders can best be supported under new federal legislation, this volume is a “must read” for educational leadership and policy faculty, school and district administrators, and researchers committed to promoting effective principal leadership.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most trusted guide to school culture, updated with current challenges and new solutions Shaping School Culture is the classic guide to exceptional school leadership, featuring concrete guidance on influencing the subtle symbolic features of schools that provide meaning, belief, and faith. Written by renowned experts in the area of school culture, this book tackles the increasing challenges facing public schools and provides clear, candid suggestions for more effective symbolic leadership. This new third edition has been revised to reflect the reality of schools today, including the increased emphasis on high-stakes testing, federal reforms such as No Child Left Behind (NCLB) and Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), state sponsored improvement programs, and other major issues that impact organizational culture and the role of school leaders. Each chapter features new examples and cases that illustrate persistent problems, spelling out key cultural implications and offering concrete examples of overcoming the challenges while maintaining a meaningful learning environment. The chapter on toxic schools continues to provide the field's most trusted advice on navigating this rocky terrain, and the discussion's focus on how to manage negativity remains especially integral to besieged school administrators across the U.S. Recent years have jolted the nation's school system with a number of new developments that spell problems for the cultural tapestry of schools. This book provides expert perspective and sage, doable advice for administrators tending to external pressures while sustainingor evolvinga more positive school culture. Navigate new challenges including Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) and waning confidence and faith Turn around a toxic school culture with confidence and success Foster a culture of passion, purpose, and meaning Adopt a more active form of symbolic leadership to support students, faculty, staff, parents, and community Test scores as the primary metric, relentless reforms, waning public support, and timid initiatives wrapped in bureaucratic packaging: while among the most prominent issues administrators face are only the tip of the iceberg. Shaping School Culture charts a route through competing pressures to help educational leaders hew a positive learning environment for schools.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Small City School Districts across New York State are becoming increasingly fearful of losing newly hired, highly talented teachers. In the United States, 8% of teachers leave the profession annually and greater than 50% quit teaching before reaching retirement age (Sutcher, 2016). A study done on teacher retention decisions in New York City revealed lack of administrative support as one of the top five reasons for teacher attrition (Boyd, Grossman, Ing, Lankford, Loeb & Wyckoff, 2011). The importance of a teacher's effect on student achievement cannot be overstated. Teachers have more influence on student achievement than any other factor (Carver-Thomas & Darling-Hammond, 2017). The purpose of this quantitative study was to investigate the effect that high school principals have on the retention of high school teachers in Small City School Districts in New York State. This research examined the responsibilities of high school principals who are important to teachers' decision to remain in their current role; determine which responsibilities exist in their schools; and analyze the correlation between the two. The leadership practices and principles that are defined in The 21 Responsibilities of the School Leader, as outlined by Marzano, Waters and McNulty's book (Marzano, McNulty, & Waters, 2005) School Leadership that Works, are the conceptual frame for this study. This study utilized anonymous survey results from 295 respondents currently employed in 13 Small City School Districts located within the Northeastern Regional Information Center of New York State. The findings from the research indicate that while all of the 21 Responsibilities used in this research are existent, respondents were neutral in their perception of whether any of them were important to supporting teacher retention. However, when separating the results by demographics, there were significant differences by gender and years of teaching experience. Responses by females and teachers with less than 10 years' experience demonstrated statistically significant differences, whereas they perceive a vast majority of the 21 Responsibilities used in this study to be more important than their male and veteran teacher counterparts. Also, the Responsibility of Involvement with Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment ranked last amongst survey results as important to supporting teacher retention and perceived existence by the building principal. Finally, all leadership behaviors used in this study demonstrated a moderately positive correlation between what was perceived as important to supporting teacher retention and perceived existence of the behavior by the principal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Retaining teachers, especially those new to the profession, continues to emerge as a problematic task that is plaguing public school systems throughout the United States. When teachers depart from the profession so quickly, educational systems become destabilized in their ability to provide students with high quality teaching and learning experiences. The principal's role in implementing a formal campus mentorship program and conscientiously supporting beginning teachers has been found to significantly increase teacher retention. This study applied a mixed methods approach to explore the impact that campus beginning teacher mentorship programs and supportive school leadership practices have on teacher retention. Through utilizing perception based data collection instruments that yielded numerical generalizations and invaluable qualitative insight, the results of this study documented and highlighted the influential factors and pivotal role that campus principals play in teacher retention. Beginning teachers report feeling disillusioned and unfulfilled shortly after entering the profession, and formal mentoring programs provide beginning teachers with the supportive network necessary to withstand the inevitable new teacher challenges.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "One of the most influential factors in determining new teacher retention is the level of support from the principal and school administration. The purpose of this study is to examine the role principals play in the retention--or turnover--of first-time teachers, and to learn what cost-effective methods principals can utilize to provide support for their new teachers. This study follows a qualitative design using interviews as the format. The participants included new teachers with three years or less teaching experience and an experienced education professional and writer. Results indicated that much can be done at the school level to retain new teachers, however much of the power to make this happen lies in the hands of the principal." -- from the abstract, p.4.
