Teacher Retention and Attrition in Public Schools: Evidence from SASS91.
Shen, Jianping
Journal of Educational Research, v91 n2 p81-88 Nov-Dec 1997
Investigated teacher retention and attrition by examining data from the 1990-91 Schools and Staffing Survey and 1991-92 Teacher Followup Survey. Results indicated that teachers with less experience were more likely to move or leave. Empowerment and higher salary were correlated positively with teacher retention. Appreciation of the intrinsic merits of teaching also influenced teachers to remain in teaching. (SM)
